    Unnecessary character introduction in the end

    This was a movie that had the potential to be a 8.5 - 9. The storyline was going great until the unnecessary twist in the end that did not do the movie any favors. It felt like the writer could not come up with a good climax and made something up randomly. Until the unnecessary character introduction, the movie was an 8.5 to me but then dropped to a 6.5 - 7.

    Not worth watching

    Even if it was released in the eighties, this movie would not have been a hit. All in all, wasted my 2 hours. The only good thing about the movie is Naslen gafoor sequence.

    Unexpected from Sathyan Anthikaad

    Satyan Anthikad tried to serve old wine in new bottles, but still failed. The creators couldn't bring a feel of watching a full length feel good or entertaining movie. The viewers feel like a 2 hr compilation of multiple discontinuous scenes and there is no good connection from scene to scene.

    The movie announcement could bring some expectations to the audience with Sathyan Anthikaad and Jayaram reuniting after Katha Thudarunnu. But overall the movie is a disappointment for those who had thoroughly enjoyed the Anthikaad movies in 90s and 2000s

    It lacks a good screenplay, cinematography, editing, music and BGM. The sync sound was so pathetic.

    The only positive was Naslen.

    Terrible

    Movie was in an amazing flow till that kannada charecter got introduced

    After that it was terrible. Awful to watch this kind of cliche characters. Expected more.

    Don't be tempted to skip this movie!

    This movie was so down-to-earth, full of comedy, and had plenty of messages to spread. We were in love with it

    DELICIOUS

    -The humor was so unexpected! It was natural and no-nonsense; the dialogues were already comic that the actors didn't have much to do than just deliver them. There was a combination of dry humor, sarcasm, and deception.

    -Naslen K Gafoor rocks! The switch to Hindi and over-politeness were too hilarious😜

    Althaf Salim was extravagantly funny, and the craziest part was that he always kept a serious face

    -Makal's mission was accomplished: Fluent directing, Pure Comedy, Organic Acting, Relevant topic, Engaging Cinematography, Sizzling Climax, Intriguing Storytelling, Good Message for parents and youth

    -The film gave concrete illustrations of the interaction between parents and teenagers, and taught valuable lessons. As a parent, you'll learn to gently enter your children's world to get to know and relate to them, and vice-versa for children

    BLAND

    -Unless we missed it, but we didn't quite get how Nandan went from being a mechanic to selling spices.

    Why was there even the need for him to be a mechanic in the script? It was a little too sudden the way he built his business.
