Quite predictable lines initially when the film starts.
The character of a spoilt brat in a rich and happy family suits Dulquer Salman.
He is a charmer (both on and off screen). The father-son bonding has been
portrayed very beautifully and gets us emotional in a few instances. Mukesh is
a veteran and he has breezed through in this role.
In many places the movie reminds you of Jacobinte
Swargarajyam. The romantic sequences with Anupama Parameshwaran are real cool.
It's different treatment when we see the whole family plan a romance and
execute it to perfection!
Aishwarya Rajesh is so deglamorised that you feel sorry
for a handsome looking boy like Dulquer. But she is made for the role and does
ample justice.
The ups and downs of life are told in a way which is very
typical of Malayalam films. No exaggeration or dramatisation in any part of the
film. How life moves on in spite of the curveballs that are thrown at one is
the core of the story.
When the entire TN is fighting to lift the ban on
Jallikattu, this movie depicts how life in itself is a Jallikattu and how to
embrace life as it comes.
The duration could have been much, much lesser. Slightly
dragged and lengthy. Many unwanted narrations could have been cut down. But
yes, an ok Sathyan Anthikkad movie.
