Moviegoers are saying
This Malayalam thriller has audiences walking out of theaters with chills and that rare 'wow' feeling, delivering a masterfully crafted mystery about the blurred lines between protection and restriction. Viewers are praising its original storytelling, atmospheric cinematography, and a jaw-dropping climax that recontextualizes everything, though some note pacing issues and commercial compromises that prevent it from reaching absolute perfection.
