EE Times Review
Critical response was largely positive, with ETimes awarding the film 4 stars and praising its performances and technical strengths. The review states, “Both Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph give highly engaging performances with effortless comedic timing and emotional depth. Kuttan Tovino will easily become one of his most iconic comedy roles, revealing a completely different shade of the actor. Basil, on the other hand, proves once again why he remains one of the most relatable actors among young actors today.”Adding to the fun are appearances by Vineeth Sreenivasan and Shaan Rahman as themselves, creating many laugh-out-loud moments. Jeo Baby also steals scenes as a caricatured police officer, contributing greatly to the film’s situational comedy charm.Technically too, the film does well. Samuel Henry’s cinematography beautifully captures the vibrant campus atmosphere and festival spirit, while Shaman Shacko’s editing keeps the pace active throughout. Vishnu Vijay’s music lifts the festive mood of the film, effectively supported by Akhil Damodhar’s art direction and Mishar Hamsa’s costumes.Disclaimer: Box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
