Then how Lisamma fight against the new find problems forms the rest of the story. With a hopeful ending Babu Janardhanan tells that even after faith is playing all the cruel parts, it also stores some good for each one of us.

Babu janardhanan’s treatment of finding the happiness when the worst happen to a person is appreciable. Where he has a strong message which questions, how our public and the law treats such individuals, how the political violence affects a family. It also shows how will power can help someone to get back to a normal life, even when the faith is doing all the worst. The film script looks good, however the second half proved to be given a loose treatment when compared to the first half. And towards the end the film looked like a normal story, which can be easily guessed by the viewers, other wise Babu janardhanan was able to get a feel good film that brims with hope and will power.
Meera Jasmin, who disappeared for a long time from the big screen came up with a brilliant performance as Lisamma. Salim Kumar once again show case his caliber in a serious role, and we can get more meaty role from him in the future. The young actor Rahul Madhav also came up with a good performance. Rest of the actors, Jagadeesh, Shruthy Menon, V. K. Sreeraman, P Sreekumar, Sangeetha Mohan, Ranju, Preesha, all got to play their part significantly.

The songs by Vinu Thomas suits the mood, and Sinu Sidharth came up with some good visuals that suits the entire flow. Having said that the last 30 minutes or so film dragged unnecessarily.
