Note: This review is meant only for those who have watched the movie ( is not meant for those who are going to watch the movie after reading a review. )
The story revolves around a family, their relationships and an incident which changes their otherwise smooth life. The script writer does a wonderful job, as the script is getting as close to the life of a family, to the maximum a commercial film can, without boring the audience. The actors
Mohanlal as Georgekutty deserves such roles, as he is not utilized to his full potential these years may be due to his choice of roles as a protagonist.
Meena as Rani
Ansiba Hassan as Anju
Esther as Anu
Meena as Rani
Ansiba Hassan as Anju
Esther as Anu
gave lifelike performances.
A middle class family with girl children can identify themselves with the characters and connect with them, and this is the major strength of the movie. The main plot resembles the story Devotion of Suspect X vaguely, but that resemblance is only in the crime committed in the story.
Kalabhavan Shajon as Sahadevan deserves special credit for choosing a very different kind of role as an antagonist and doing it very convincingly. (as the actor is famous as a comedian in various films)
Siddique as Prabhakar
Asha Sarath as IG Geetha Prabhakar
Roshan Basheer as Varun
Neeraj Madhav as Monichan
Irshad as SI Suresh Babu
Kunchan as Madhavan
Kozhikode Narayanan Nair as Sulaimanikka
Baiju V.K as Soman
P. Sreekumar as Rani's Father
Sobha Mohan as Rani's Mother
Koottickal Jayachandran as Murali
Kalabhavan Rahman as Bus Conductor
Kalabhavan Haneef as Theatre Operator
Antony Perumbavoor as Antony
Balaji
Pradeep Chandran
all did their roles well.
Cinematography is good . The film is a must watch.
Afterthoughts:
A crime is committed, even if one escapes from the clutches of law, conscience does a very big role in the life of the persons involved. If the future of the family was discussed in that way, it would turn out to be an art film with limited audiences. Director Jeethu Joseph is sensible in choosing an ending where the audience has no complaints.
