    Not the Typical, but better than the best

    This is an amazing Musical Horror film, that at first watch we may not feel attracted to, but will keep us dragging towards the film again and again, and for sure,it will make to our recommended list. And the music, it's just OMG. An amazing thing. Some reactions from Mohanlal may seem unwanted or a bit odd, and few characters are not utilized properly, like Jagathy sir and Jagadeesh and the actress which plays Sneha in it. Any way, it's super amazing :-)

    Could've been a classic

    One should watch this movie just to experience the music in it. Vidyadagar's composition is that powerful in this movie. Great Script, direction, cinematography and acting. However, the factors which made this movie one step behind being a classic are the unnecessary characters by Jagdeesh and Jagadhi. I felt some of their scenes was an obstacle for the flow of the movie. There were also unnecessary fight sequences just to show the mass of Mohanlal. If we can forget these two elements of the movie then I feel it's an all-time classic.
