Featured reviews
Plot: Plot was good but I had to remember the plot forever -it got better in the end-because it was slow and most of the movie used up too much time with slow motion shots of Prithviraj. If you use a technique over excessively which does not help the story, it starts getting boring. Story lacked comedy, and most of the characters almost sounded the same. This can happen if the writer while writing did not make much effort to separate the characters. Direction: Average, too many drone shots and characters were buried in too many slow motion shots. Colour temperature was correctly used to reflect a crime suspense but it was overused to the extent that warm colours were mostly indoor shots. That was a clear distraction. Most of the background music came right out of stock music available online. It is OK for short movies but bad for fairly budgeted movie. Conclusion: Plot was good but dialogue and direction were poorly executed. Disclaimer: This is just my opinion!
Subject matter lacking authenticity and don't entertain the audience much. Must have wasted so much money for this script. It could have been better
Please ignore the negative reviews here and watch this movie! I watched it last night I must admit the story, acting, screenplay, cinematography, camera-work, background music etc.., just everything is brilliant in this movie. I cannot praise Prithviraj enough for his performance but it would be injustice if I don't praise everybody else as everyone was absolutely brilliant in this movie.
The only people you would find here who share negative reviews are the peanuts brains who cannot see anything beyond the backwaters of Kerala. The Director and entire crew must be appreciated for pulling off a movie abroad with such high standards that it has just raised the bar now in the Malayalam film industry.
If you like a movie that will really touch you, with great thriller moments and fantastic direction, then you cannot miss this.
Again, to the Director and entire crew, please make more movies as this and KUDOS to everyone for such great performances. I must be blind and deaf to rate this anything below 10!

When I have first watched the teaser, I was very excited about the film.
There are some scenes which could have been avoided to save time, but every movie has some of those..but it's Very beautiful movie, I really enjoyed it with my family.It has fantastic background score and emotions helps in maintaining the pace of the movie.
Do watch it!

I was skeptical eventhough trailer looked promosing and after watching the film I've only one line to say "technically outstanding but glibly written screenplay marred its potential." Film had all the quality to being branded as an international film however leisurely done pacing and lacking solid substance(yet innovative) shackled its repeated viewing. Coming to the story film dealt with sensitive topics and paganism. Story has many loose end which fail to connect the dots by the end, some characters were not etched out properly. Climax is pretty predictable. Cinematography in this film is on a different level which is exactly why it looks like a non-indian film along with the colour shading they opt for visually stunning scotland which is apt for dark thrillers.
Acting: Prithviraj is in his comfort zone because this genre is his forte. He perfectly played his character. Bhavana after a long time got something to perform and she did it brilliantly. Other actors like Narain ,Lena, Kpac Lalitha, Misthi & Rahul madhav done their part well. I've to appreciate the casting director for finding capable foreign actors, all the foreigners played their role with absolute brilliance. Thumps up! Songs were decent and Bgm at places remind me of deathnote series. Film should have been trimmed atleast by 20 minutes. Had good concept and great potential if used wisely. Rating: 6.3/10
