Just like most of the low budget parallel films in Malayalam this film also suffers from an amateur feel throughout the runtime. Although most of the film is average in almost every section there are a few saving graces. One positive is that such films usually tend to indulge in an artificial arthouse approach which usually fails but that is not followed here. Although most of the actors tend to act like they were in a play rather than a film it is the protagonist played by Surabhi who elevates the film to a whole another level. The national award-winning performance does tend to follow others at times but she does rise above it and totally owns the film.

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.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
