Very well directed. Captures the culture of the place beautifully. Great performances by everyone. There isn't a very strong story here but it's more or less the depiction of the average/regular life of the people from region and an unfortunate incident that left an impact on the lives of those involved. But overall you will enjoy watching it. Recently started watching Malayalam movies and there's no going back now.

A simple narrative that has been well scripted an executed. It's about and apartment and the various characters living in that space and how they develop chemistry and understanding letting the viewer easily absorb the plot and engage with the characters. It's beautiful how that director and actors have kept it realistic and yet brought out the beauty in simple moments of life. A progressive story that warms the heart and makes for a fresh and light viewing experience.

Just done reading Kafka on the shore and realised, the author hasn't completely explained any of the questions/ situations that he started the narrative with. There is no conclusion to the story as one would expect. no loose ends tied, no counter evidence to support or reject the theories. the real, the surreal and the metaphors are all mixed up and hard to differentiate from one another. And yet i couldn't keep away from this strange story with an unusual narrative and the absurd characters that sound oddly familiar and also something/ someone I have experienced to some extent. Though I don't think i understood enough about the book or what its trying to convey, I still feel contented to a certain extent and enriched with nothingnesss. Just like life, where we have no control, don't find all the answers, don't always explain what we mean and after a point we accept everything that comes our way as part of life moving from one point to the other knowing there is no escape.
