    A Feel Good Movie.

    A Very Well presented feel good movie, each character had their arc by the end of the movie. This movie is not about the travelling but it provides many travle spots to visit. Too much of positivity around the characters of the movie, it runs smoothly and you will have pleasant smile on your face during few scenes. Engineering students will get connected for sure. Direction and screenplay was very good. Cinematography was very nice. Acting was best to their roles by everyone but surprised by the transformation of roshan mathew in just two years from aanandham to koode, he changed a lot both performance and physic wise. The ending was very good and heart touching where the girl who doesnt speak to any one in the film, speaks to us throughout the movie.
