Analysis:
Directed by Suresh G, the movie is melodramatic in the first half and emotional in the second half.
The director has delivered a quality product with minimum cast and budget.
Suresh G, could have however concentrated a bit more on theatre elements, which could have made the movie all the more interesting.
Monica and Rithvik have breathed life into their respective characters and easily connect with the audience with their innoncent acting.
Charlie has once again delivered an impressive performance.
M S Bhaskar is terrific and terrifying as the money lender.
George Mariyan gets a neat role and creates an impact.
Rest of the cast have also done their part well.
Cinematographer Kalidas has captured the beauty of Kattumannarkoil effectively through his lens.
Music by Arun Raj is impressive and soulful.
Rating: 3.2/5
