Presentation:

The director has come up with an interesting storyline and while the presentation was effective, the narrative was good in parts. The dialogues were alright. The script was above average and the screenplay was useful. The background score was haunting and all songs were melodious. Cinematography was masterly. Editing was required in few places during second half. Costumes were well designed while the art department was rich. Nishan has given a very good performance and shows varied emotions, Mridula looks naturally cute and she performs well. Lal was impact creating, Sritha was sensuous, Krishna was neat, Anoop Chandran was apt, Manuraj was moderate. The others didn’t have scope.
