ETimes review praises writing and characters
ETimes review for the film reads, “When Fahadh’s character says that what they had built is not followers but faith, it rings true for both the characters and the actors. In fact, their interactions carry an undercurrent of real-life conversations. Was it absolutely necessary? Did it work? Very well. What could be called morbid talk is layered with a good deal of philosophy, just before a thrilling car chase. Towards the end, the screenplay get a little messy before it settles, just like in the beginning.The dynamics between couples, friends, and even father and son—all of it finds a place in this stellar writing by Mahesh. The female characters—each treated with respect and agency—are key to the storytelling. Did the advocate or the minister have to be women? No. But the fact that they are women matters, especially given the character settings they have.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
