Plot

Jyothish, a Vitiligo-affected person, belongs to a humble family. His mother, Ashamma, is the sole source of income for his family. His father lost his money while going behind his dream of entering the cinema. As his family is in need of money, Jyothish is pressured to seek a job as soon as possible to support his mother. He also has an ambition to build a house. Besides this, he has an interest in acting. His mother doesn’t want him to enter the cinema, as she has already witnessed all the money vanishing due to her husband’s film obsession. What will be Jyothish’s decision? Will he support his mother by going for a job or pursue his career in acting? How will he overcome his insecurities?

Star Performance

Devadarshini is a natural actress. She excelled in her role. Her body language and expressions are fantastic. Ashokan did his job well as a dream chaser. Arjun Ashokan is fine as Jyothish. Revathy Sharma Bio coming soon... >> Read More... is good in her role.

Analysis

The story is simple, yet impressive, with some emotional moments. The casting team deserves appreciation for placing the right actors, especially Devadarshini and Ashokan. Their chemistry is astounding. Almost all the stars fit well in their roles and delivered compelling performances, and this is the biggest plus for a cinema with a simple story. The feelings of each character are shown well. Although there are good characters and performances, the screenplay didn’t have a solid grip throughout. The second half is better than the first half with a tight screenplay and execution. The visuals are okay. The BGM is excellent, and the editing is decent.

What’s There?

  • Impressive performances from the lead actors
  • The characters are finely designed

What’s Not There?

  • The screenplay should’ve been better in the first half

Verdict

For the excellent performances, the film is watchable once!
