my rating- 3/5 (above average one time watch with a good message and few thrills and a suspense climax)
Postives - 1.)Mohanlal (comeback after 10 months)- he was brilliant and he has portrayed his character in a good manner that you wont forget about his performance (well done). and in Telugu version i was really impressed because he himself dubbed in Telugu for his role and its a proud moment for Kerala.
2.) gauthami (i am seeing her after long time on screen and it was a nice comeback) - her role depicting a normal mother doing household chores was excellent (may remind you of Sridevi in English Vinglish).
3.) vishwant as abhiram was totally good. he portrayed that tech geek boy in a nice manner. and his romantic scenes was good and the script was able to support him with plenty of good dialogues which was comfortable for him and for his limited emotions.
4.)raina as mahitha was the main highlight. she has done her role excellenty and casting her was a right choice indeed!! and yes she was able to provide all emotions in this movie which some actors failed to provide. she may be a child artist but her acting was outstanding!!
5.) a good message film.
negatives- 1.) script and direction- well if the national award winning director could have taken care a bit then this movie could have also got a national award. script disappointed me at certain areas and we can feel clichés in towards climax where its supposed to amaze us. climax was supposed to be a legend one according to director but for us it was mixed bag of clichés. there are many movies like this and it reminded me of a Malayalam movie(paisa paisa movie). that movie was excellent in providing thrill as well as emotions at the same time. i don't know if director was trying to copy that but he should have remaked it other than adding scenes from paisa paisa. i am not saying script failed to provide thrill but suspense in climax and thrill in interval wasn't that good. from directors part he could have made it in raw film realness format other than following normal colorful format . and plus he could have added few thriller scenes extra. from the script part i think the script could have been more thrilling if the writers could have added variety and inspiring dialogues in to it. makers could have added few variety scenes to make it a extraordinary one and this film has a great potential to be a best one.
2.)cinematography - it wasn't that great and just average.
3.)music- average.my rating for music- 2.8/5
is it a must watch?
well my opinion is to this is not. watch it for Timepass. yea you can watch with your family and it has a good message to future generations but the script writers and makers failed to execute it properly. so again i am telling you just watch it for time pass and also watch without much expectations.
overall- its a family movie with good message to everyone but you may forget it after few days because of the lack of execution of the film which makes it a one time watch.
