This is one of the best character study in Malayalam film industry in recent times. Its has all the elements on paper to make it a very interesting movie. The film keeps you engaging till the end. It is a brave attempt to try to tell a story in a different way.

Director Arun Kumar with "Ee Adutha Kaalath" in his credit does not disappoints. His involvement in the background study of various elements of the movie is very apparent and commendable. The background score is intriguing. It remains faithful to the theme of the movie. It adds to the mystic nature of certain progressing scenes. The cinematography is decent although could have been more crisp.

The only flaw in the whole project is the casting and the editing. Murali Gopy as an artist has a good taste,He is a writer and it is better if he does what he is good at. Swapping Fahadh Faasil and Murli Gopy might have been a better resource management judgment. Honey Rose is sweet and subtle, just perfect.perfect. Shyamaprasad is as it is mentioned in the film "Over Casual". The movie is too long, hence it fails to leave behind the impact it intends to.Many scenes could have been avoided.The purpose of the movie which drives the story moving forward keeps changing frequently which gets confusing as to why certain aspects of the story line is highlighted.

The Intention of the project is highly encourageble- To make a sharp physiological thriller.It succeeds in major portion of it, the editing and cast lets it down.This is a movie which is in the threshold of breaking away from the contemporary stereotype movies. Betting on Fahadh Faasil pays off yet again.It is refreshing to see the new breed of artists bring a fresh wind in the movie watching experience.
