Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I am a big time Mohanlal fan and I loved most of his movies from the 80's and 90's. Though in this day and age his acting is not all that great compared to the previous decades he still is and will always be a fav in the Malayalam Film Industry. I was curious to watch this movie mainly because of just one famous comedy scene from it. Yes, the one where he calls Doordashan Network to find an address of the singer he just saw on t.v (Parvathi). The first half of the movie is funny and then it gets serious. All in all the movie was good but not great. Watch it if you are a Mohanlal fan like me. Don't watch it if you are looking for a masterpiece work but i will assure you that whichever reason you might choose to watch this movie, it won't waste your time.
