When some people remarked that they are releasing OTT-designed films in theaters for Eid, I wasn’t really in agreement with it. But seeing the aspect ratio, tight framing, and overall minimalism, it’s very hard to ignore that statement. Irshad Parari has this idea to make it look very light and funny. But he somewhere forgets to give a solid foundation to the equations between characters. And the focus of the script is also blurry. When Theju finally clears his name in front of Benny and Benny feels terrible for how he behaved, the sentimentality of that scene doesn’t work. With symmetric visuals and quick pans, Sajith Purushan tries to amplify the humor through the visual style. The music is pretty unique, but the wackiness they have tried to pull off in those songs through choreography doesn’t really blend with the film’s tonality.
