    Simple but a good visual treat

    Movie is not based on complicated story line or time loop concepts like some recent films.

    This is a simple Story of a common man who faces a lot of acid test when he tries to make it big. Songs are excellent I should say. Unni has improved a lot but still needs to perfect his dialogue delivery and sentimental scenes. Aju vargese and Saiju kurupp was really good throughout the show.

    Some people are trying to paint communal colours for their political gains. Don't fall into it. This film doesn't potray anything as such. Do watch it with your family.

    Top Class Movie

    Excellent story telling in an old fashioned way... Feels a present situation of a common man... Unni Mukundan rocks with his acting... Film also superbly depicts real day to day working of various institution like courts, govt offices etc .... This is a gem not to be missed.... Director Vishnu Mohan deserves full credit...

    Worth watching

    It's a well shot movie focusing on a common man's struggle when he is faced with crony politics as the hurdle of leading a simple life. A reality in India, a country which is still plagued by the issues which is beautifully highlighted in the movie.

    A controversy has been made surrounding the fact that they used an ambulance which is owned by the RSS, a Hindu nationalist social service organization known as Seva Bharati. And the fact that the villain is surprisingly Muslim and hero a Hindu. Why would that be right? Muslims are just all encompassing good hearted beings:))

    Besides all of this nonsense from the left and far right Islamic fronts, the movie is a must watch for family theme film lovers. Don't fall for the myth that this is propagandist.

    The Great Indian Kitchen normalising beef and Minnal Murali will also be propagandist if we apply their bigoted logic.

    Cheers guys.

    Decent movie with top notch performances

    With a simple plot director was able to successfully pull off a thriller with great acting skills by Unni Mukundan along with rest of the cast. It is apparently inspired by true events and kudos to the casting team for adding some forgotten actors in the movie. Overall a decent watch.
