Basil Joseph, Nazriya Nazim deliver a suspenseful and hilarious mystery comedy

Basil Joseph�s portrayal of Manuel is arguably his best to date, even better than his role as Fr Kevin in Joji (2021), as he effectively conveys the essence of the character through subtle expressions, body language and even through the simple yet powerful lines. He expertly shifts between comedic and dramatic moments, doing full justice to both the character and the film�s tone. Sidharth Bharathan excels as a Mojo Jojo in 144p, with his comedic performance standing out. Unfortunately, his character isn�t fully developed or utilised. Supporting actors Ramesh, Manohari, Akhila and Pooja Mohanraj also contribute significantly to the film�s success, enhancing its overall quality.(more)
