Review

Tovino, Asif Ali, Lal, Indrans, Sudheesh, Narein, Kunchacko Boban, Kalaiyarasan, Gauthami and Tanvi Ram have performed their roles very naturally and skillfully. Similarly, the other cast members who portrayed mothers, fathers, victims and police officers presented more authentic feeling performances. Their portrayal was never exaggerated, but believable all throughout the film.

The track and the BGM were apt for the movie and they don’t overshadow it too much. Although there were times it could have been delved into more, lets not forget how difficult it is to give tragedy that this generation own, its proper due.

You have to give the best we can, and here Akhil P Dharmajan and Jude the filmmakers (you can see from the well written films) have done a good job.

However all praises to Akhil George for some spectacular camerawork that gives character to this film. Chaman Chacko’s editing too adds to the over all quality of the film. Also, it offers great visual effects that make things even more exciting to watch.

Overall, this one is a watchable fare. It does manage to bring the tragic story it takes inspiration from to life. Acting, writing, cinematography, editing and visual effects all come together in wonderful, highly effective harmony.
