First of all this movie deservess so much moree, it was kinda drowned in all that Thudarum hype. For me, it was a fun entertainer, not even a single scene that feels laggy. The comic references were wisely put and the movie stands as an example of how huge concepts can be shown even in low budget setting. The song towards the climax was executed with outmost precision and music was great. The dance, from Jeevika and team, was spectacular. Although, it would have been better if Jeevika's character had some more layers. It breaks so many stereotypes as four nerds are the main characters unlike the usual back bencher is so cool theory. The songs are entertaining and well written, the climax one deserves more praise. Sandeep's acting was phenomenal, especially how he handled the character transformation. The Vintage Suraj look brought nostalgia and the others also performed well, especially the florescent scene had me cracking. This movie deserves more recognition, a fun thriller, that keeps you hooked until the very last minute.

Not being a buzzkill but, for me, the movie was just average, and lemme tell you why, except for the genuine performances from the villain combo, nothing in this movie is worth the hype. The storyline was very predictable, executed in a poor way, twists were telegraphed from miles away and the scenes including the family, seems like a bait, first half promises a master piece, but the second half miserlably fails in delivering a deep emotional impact that was promised. The idea of how 'deaths' happen as a consequence of caste system seems like an unsuitable tagline for the film as the plot was never the consequence of a caste based vendetta or honour killing, because the characters in no manner seems in anyway inclined to a rigid caste system, the murder was an attempt to prevent revelation of the Antagonist's dirty tricks. Mohanlal fans did enjoy the action sequence, well executed, but that's it, a story with promising villains and a stunt master protagonist, otherwise lacks in depth, clarity and contains unnecessary exaggeration of events and certain shadows of the actor's previous films sprinkled here and there. Tbh, average movie, somewhat like the 2000s masala films, except that the acting delivered by the villains are praise worthy. Not worth all that unnecessary hype
