Abhiyum Naanum – sparkles in bits and pieces.

Towards the end, Abhiyum Naanum becomes almost close to an ordeal and is a test of patience. Director could have worked towards a tauter script.

Ground-breaking experiment.

Prakashraj and Trisha are Abhiyum Naanum's strengths. While Prakashraj's performance stands out as a film connoisseur’s delight, Trisha's soft yet emotionally strong countenance is so natural.
