A superb Asif Ali lends emotional strength to this drama
Asif, as usual, plays the character so smoothly, that he almost brings alive the suggestion of a Dostoeviskian dilemma. He is just instinctively good. It�s an emotional story and all the actors, from Deepak to Divya to kindly older man, who takes Ameer in, have done a good job. A special mention to child actor Orhan, who has played a difficult role very well. But having said this, the film is dependent to a large extent on the dynamics between Ameer and Jeffron, but the chemistry between the actors doesn�t really feel special; there is a slight lack there.(more)

Asif Ali's gentle drama on ADHD brims with unrealised promise
Sarkeet works mainly because of the performances, most notably that of young Orhan as the hard-to-handle Jeppu. It is a role that could have been easily portrayed in an over-the-top manner, but Orhan delivers just the required nuances for the character�s condition. Asif Ali aces it in his familiar turf where he is required to portray the emotional upheavals of a struggling man caught in a strange situation. Divya Prabha and Deepak Parambol also pitch in with notable turns.(more)

Asif Ali, Orhan elevate Thamar KV film
Aeyaz�s cinematography, particularly in the shots with just Ameer and Jeffron and the entire space around them vacant as if they have only each other, amplifies the film�s core themes beautifully. Sangeeth Prathap�s editing complements this visual rhythm and elevates the narrative flow. Thamar�s thoughtful choices on when to employ music and when to lean into ambient sound further enrich the atmosphere, allowing Govind Vasantha�s music to emerge naturally and powerfully when it appears. Equally commendable is Vishvanathan Aravind�s art direction.(more)
