I wasn't fortunate enough to watch the movie in theaters, but was aware of all the rave this was getting from all corners. So the expectations sky-rocketed. This year being not so much a good year for malayalam movies thus far, I was really excited by its success.
The movie boasts food, gang wars, and the angamaly dialect which sinks in smoothly. The ever changing bgm, the songs, the acting; you get an insight into each character and you feel for them. I consider this superior to Lijo's previous works and definitely looking forward to his work in the future.
The 11 minute long climax in a single shot was something I felt was unnecessary, because the build up to it was set up beautifully. Expected a much more high octane finish like the interval punch. But kudos to the crew for trying out something different.
People go to the movies to get entertained, intrigued and this town of Angamaly and its locals does just that.
