Inspiring Casting Letdown By Outdated Sensibilities And Dry Writing
Velayudha Panicker�s well-timed entry at moments of peril seems like a cinematic liberty, but his absence is indeed felt in the climactic sequence, and this is the only place where the character registers genuine emotional impact. Indrans makes a last moment appearance to add weight to the drama, and he undeniably does, though this slightly appears like a cheap manipulative trick deployed by the makers. The gore in the climax also feels excessive in spite of the blurring, and I�d go on to say it�s lowkey unearned for the way the film treats a character until that point. It�s disappointing when such a culturally significant and emotional story ends up inciting such a cynical reaction.(more)
