50 days is no joke in today's OTT era! Shows the power of good content. Though I felt the second half dragged a bit, the performances made up for it. Cheran's debut in Malayalam was surprisingly good!

Jakes Bejoy's background score was the soul of this film! The tribal theme music still echoes in my mind. Malayalam cinema continues to set benchmarks for meaningful cinema in India 🇮🇳

As someone who watched this in Chennai with subtitles, I must say the emotional depth transcended language barriers. The scene where the tribal elder breaks down was heartbreaking 💔 More power to regional cinema!

While I appreciate the message, I wish they had shown more concrete solutions rather than just highlighting problems. Our films need to go beyond just creating awareness to suggesting practical solutions.

Suraj Venjaramoodu was the scene stealer for me! His comic timing in serious scenes was brilliant. When will this release on OTT? My parents in Delhi want to watch it too!
