The movie is a clean cut no use of unnecessary elements introduced in the movie. Great to see the both Big M's on screen. IV sasi brilliantly made this movie with his wife Seema playing an important role. We could see IV sasi 's directorial skills in this movie to make the engaging and enjoyable.

Actually it's a must watch from the 80s movies.
