The movie felt unnecessarily long, attempting to infuse a magical element reminiscent of Westworld but ultimately undermining it with weak dialogue delivery. While the cinematography was visually impressive, it couldn’t salvage the overall experience, as the plot lacked depth and failed to leave viewers wanting more. Hanumankind’s debut, reduced to a comical scene of being pushed off a hill as a corpse, felt like a wasted opportunity. It’s disappointing to see a director, known for crafting marvellous films in the past, deliver a project that spirals downhill so quickly. Despite its visual appeal and strong musical essence, the movie suffers from poor execution. The narrative spirals around a feud that lacks any real connection or justification for the escalating tension. The characters are underdeveloped, with little attention given to their actions or motivations, leaving them feeling purposeless in the broader context of the story. While the cinematography shines, it’s not enough to mask the weak plot and disjointed storytelling. A disappointing effort from a director whose previous works set much higher expectations. I don’t understand why such hype for this movie.

Let's leave the emotions aside. This movie captures and speaks about reality in its true whole sense. Starting from the fact that we meet normal friends and later on we come to know that they have business ties together. The entire story gives us a grasp of what a normal life would look like in a metro. Well it could have been better and the cops are smart trust me. But hey that's part of the added masala right?! The life of a normal guy who you can call a sociopath but in all sense just an individual who makes his decision and chooses what he wants is clearly written in the story and Tovino plays that role brilliantly. We can feel his innocence and charisma drag us to the role. His friends giving the overall experience that any person can be what he wants. Not spoiling the plot, but when we come to know that he is disconnected with his mother and still forays that to his friends in a different way shows how one can be be ambiguous about just being with another. But alright let's jump into it, not telling whats good or bad. It's the spell of reality that I liked in this movie, a story written raw with just the needed drama and yes no direction of sorts. A one time watchable but with a resonating moral to consider. Being yourself in the midst of others is hard, it requires courage and more over a bind of go-getter attitude. To chase life and what it has to offer and for that this movie covers it all so decide for yourself and not get drawn into this ahh jeez it's a waste of time, watch it.. it's good.

From what I think of it this movie is a must watch, shows the beauty and natural tone of Kerala from a new view. It's got a fierce drama that keeps you in the edge of seat and Soubin's acting is a thrill as always. A drama that is entertaining as well as nail biting you can feel the character run inside you and a natural affinity towards the climax.
