Plot

Suku runs a printing business in his area. He and his apprentice go to Coimbatore to buy a new printer. There, Suku is met with an accident. He has to be in the hospital for mental health for a few days. As soon as he returns to his hometown, his accident and hospital news spread and his are people start saying that he is nuts. Even Suku feels that he may not get a bride. At this point, Sheeba enters his life. Who is she? Will Suku opens up about his issues to her? The rest of the film speaks about their lives.

Star Performance

Sajin Gopu’s performance is good. He is so natural in comedy, too. Roshan Shanavas has a solid role and he fits well in the role and boosts Sajin’s performance. Though Anaswara is a good performer, her performance is not highlighted well due to Sajin’s top-notch work. Abu Salim is okay in the given role.

Analysis

The story is simple, and the screenplay moves at a decent pace. Not all the characters are deeply penned, yet all are decent. If Sheeba’s character had been written well, Anaswara’s performance would’ve been spoken. The comedy scenes worked out well, as they were written along with the story’s flow. The BGM is energetic and gels well to the scenes. The visuals and editing are decent. The production values are good and the film is technically perfect.

What’s There?

  • The screenplay and narration are decent
  • The performances are excellent

What’s Not There?

  • A few characters were not well-developed

Verdict

Despite the flaws, the film has some energy in the performance side and makes it an engaging one!
