The portrayal of ridiculous marriage customs of Kerala felt authentic at some moments. Though the overall execution of the premise (which itself may seem a bit ridiculous unless you've actually seen it in real life) and performances by actors which were either over the top or too bland made it an average film. There were many scenes which felt so realistic and funny but the inconsistencies killed the fun for that too.

Malayalam cinema, based in Kerala, is known for its grounded narratives, literary screenplays, and strong character-driven storytelling.The industry is celebrated for innovatively blending realism with bold, socially conscious themes.
