    A Feel good movie layered with strong emotions and light hearted comedy

    Movie is about the pursuit of an aspiring filmmaker named Shibu. He goes through varying experiences right from his training days at a film institute, to the time he tries his hand at filmmaking.

    A few unusual incidents that happen in Shibu's life lands him in trouble. Whether he manages to come out of this complicated situation forms the rest of the story.

    In the first half of the film, the struggles that the central character goes through make an impact, and the protagonist takes along the audience, in his journey.

    Storytelling of the movie is layered with strong emotions and light hearted comedy.

    It's really worth watching.

    A Musical laughter ride with good performance by lead actors

    The film revolves around the life of an aspiring filmmaker Shibu, and the hurdles in his path Shibu was always intrigued by the world of filmmaking, thanks to the fact that his father, a theatre owner, used to take him along for the movies of his favourite 'Janapriyanayakan'. He nurtures an ambition to be a filmmaker and ventures to learn the craft at an institute.

    His dreams, however, pose a threat to his love life. But Shibu is determined to get serious and prove to the world what he is capable of. That said, an unlikely incident lands him in a quagmire of sorts. As he proceeds to solve the puzzle, he meets Kalyani, a doctor, who becomes part of the unfolding of a few crazy events. Whether he emerges into a sensation or remains a loafer and a wannabe filmmaker for the rest of his life makes the rest of the story. The film, directed by Arjun Prabhakaran and Gokul Ramakrishnan, has newbie Karthik Ramakrishnan as Shibu and Anju Kurian as Kalyani, and guest appearances of well-versed actors such as Salim Kumar, Kochu Preman, Vinod Kovoor and the like. Though the central characters gives decent performance, they are supported with layered scripting. Film move us, when the hero faces tragic or happier moments. What might strike a chord is the music by Sachin Warrier, which is meticulously composed to suit the narrative.

    Dumb movie with great climax

    This is one of the dumbest movie. And first half even made you think like are you watching a low budget short film. Very irritating cast and story.But after first half the herion arrives and since she's beautiful and acts better than all other cast would make you watch the movie further more. Here comes the climax which is like literally blistering would make you awestruck. it's like a 50 years old scooter gets a whole new KTM bikes handle. You will rewind the whole movie in your head several time after climax. Any way if the whole story would have developed as climax it would make it a one time watchable flick. Watch it if you have no movies to watch my rating 3/10 (3 for climax and 0 for other part of movie.)
