Asif Ali, Anaswara Rajan's mystery thriller is a tribute to the magical allure of cinema
Asif Ali�s remarkable performance anchors the film, almost masking its obvious flaws. Anaswara Rajan, on the other hand, shines in moments that don�t require dialogue, conveying awe and wonder of her character at being part of the world she dreamed of. However, her performance falls short due to the poor dialogues and the character�s uneven portrayal. In some moments, her portrayal slips into overt cuteness when innocence is called for, which detracts from the overall impact. While Bhama Arun, Megha Thomas and Nishanth Sagar play key roles, none leave a lasting impression due to poor character development, thus underutilising their talents. This issue extends to the senior character actors too. However, Zarin Shihab delivers an excellent performance, despite her limited screen time.(more)

It may not be perfect, but its imperfections are overshadowed by its ambition and heart, offering a poignant reminder of the magic of Malayalam cinema�s yesteryears.(more)
