A moving survival drama

As an audience, you don't get convinced by the Palakkad accent of the male characters. Lakshmy Ramakrishnan herself has dubbed for Sriranjani's character; so that appears authentic. Barring that, the rest appears forced. That's all right. You don't really mind them.(more)

The flow of the sequences here is generic and unpredictable, making it difficult for one to judge the genre of the film.

Interestingly, you realise that the surprising element has been built up gradually, but not evidently which helps in making the audience glued to the happenings towards the end of the story. Krishna Sekhar's cinematography and Ghibran's music elevate the mood and required tension in many scenes. (more)
