Competent players adapting well to a new format born out of necessity
The biggest challenge for a film of this kind is to create characters that we care for. The resources to do so are limited and you really can't spend too much time as well because boredom is bound to creep in quickly with this set up. Mahesh Narayanan rushes through the proceedings and keeps us on our toe as well. I say this because we merely aren't listening to dialogues but keep focussing on the screen as a substantial amount of conversations happen through text exchanges. And these conversations are kept simple, real and most importantly are never cheesy which they so easily could have been. While we assume that the film could be about the dangers of mistaken identity, lack of privacy and other dangers of the online space, it actually ends up being about something else and the film's biggest success is how it successfully brings to the forefront, a certain emotional aspect and ends up being a love story that we thought never existed all this while.(more)

Mahesh Narayanan-Fahadh pull off experimental thriller
Of course, the screens wouldn't tell the story by themselves. Separate windows on separate screens of all the characters had to be meticulously put together to tell a cogent tale. It should also not be too complicated and confuse the average viewer about what's going on. Mahesh, who is well-known for his editing skills, has brilliantly created a smooth narrative with minimal dialogues, all the screens converging to unravel the mystery. (more)
