The teaser looks promising but I hope they don't make it too similar to other campus films. Malayalam cinema needs fresh storytelling, not just star power.

Nivin's comic timing is unmatched! That bakery scene had me in splits 😂. Hope the full movie delivers the same energy.

Interesting to see a Tamil-Malayalam bilingual. Hope they maintain authenticity for both audiences. Nayanthara's versatility across industries is impressive!

Vikram M

After Jawan, Nayanthara is everywhere! Good to see her balancing commercial and content-driven films. The action sequences in the teaser look slick.

Kavya N

The PG life scenes better be realistic! Too many films glorify hostel life. Want to see some real struggles we face as students in India.

The production quality looks great. Hope the story matches up to the technical brilliance. South Indian cinema has been setting high standards lately.
