An earnest attempt by the entire cast and crew to make a meaningful film about organ donation.

Mejo Joseph's music has played a vital part in the film. Although the introductory song looks unwarranted, both the songs that appear in the film are hummable. The background score fits into the scenes aptly. Cinematography by Shehnad Jalal is praise-worthy. He has done a commendable job in canning ...(more)

Definitely worth a watch for its novel intent and the way it has been presented.

Mejo Joseph takes care of the music and there are a couple of songs at the start as the premise and characters are setup. His RR is mushy and dramatic as per the demands of the script.

It is a story of human relationships, suffering and triumph. Go for it!

Not a scene is out of place and all credit goes to Bobby and Sanjay, who have done the story and screenplay. Ajayan Bala has made only minor changes to the original script to suit the Tamil audience as the movie juggles emotions, thrilling action sequences and a nail-biting suspense. It uses the hyp...(more)
