Pranav Mohanlal is arriving as the young romantic heartthrob into malayalam cinema.

It is a Vineeth Srinivasan movie - young, campus based, music based. Quite in line with "Thattathin marayathe pennu". To draw a comparison, Pranav has a whole lot more flair to offer than Nivin.

Music has been well done, and is a continuous presence. Blending music into the situations has been pretty seamless.

Cinematography has been good. The interval shot with Pranav at a train door against red light is a keeper.

There is a lot of college nostalgia through out the movie. Some of the moments in the movie feel very genuine.

The movie did not end with a bang for me. Nothing substantial really came out. However, there is a lot of heart and youthful enthusiasm through the movie. Darshana and Pranav have performed very well, and Pranav is slowly firming his foot as the romantic star.
