Good that they finally announced the date. But I'm a bit skeptical - delays often mean trouble. Still, Joju George is a powerhouse actor. Let's see if Shaji Kailas can deliver another classic after all these years.

The storyline sounds promising - a planter returning after prison and old feuds in the high ranges. Kerala's beautiful landscape plus Joju's intense acting? Count me in! 😎 July 16 can't come soon enough.

Nice to see Vani Viswanath back! She was so good in those old Malayalam films. Also Murali Gopy and Saniya Iyappan? That's a solid cast. Hope this is more than just another revenge drama.

As someone who enjoys Indian cinema from abroad, I'm curious about this one. Joju George's transition from character roles to lead has been impressive. The teaser looked intense! Will definitely watch when it releases.

Honestly, these last-minute postponements make me nervous. But I trust Joju George - he chooses his scripts carefully. Hope the 'best possible cinematic experience' line wasn't just marketing. Fingers crossed! 🤞
