ETimes review
Sharing its review, ETimes wrote, “Both Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph deliver highly engaging performances with effortless comic timing and emotional depth. Tovino’s Kuttan will easily become one of his most celebrated comic roles, revealing a completely different shade of the actor. Basil, on the other hand, once again proves why he remains one of the most relatable performers among today’s younger actors.”Meanwhile, the film did a magnificent performance at the box office, even during the release of the most awaited Mohanlal starrer ‘Drishyam 3’ which was directed by Jeethu Joseph.On the other hand, Sreenath Bhasi’s ‘Pongala’, Mammooty’s ‘Patriot’, and Mohanlal starrer ‘Drishyam 3’ are also currently streaming on OTT.
