Biju Menon as usual is brilliant here compensating for Suresh Gopi's performance which even from the writing phase is filled with the ghosts of his past police roles. The film has a fascinating premise although the story eventually becomes predictable. But the screenplay and the making make the film a totally engaging thriller even if there's nothing special to boast of. The ending felt like it wrapped up too fast through dialogues and the epilogue felt weird. Maybe they wanted the twist and the stars to make an impact more than telling it through the visuals. The film totally relies on Suresh Gopi's past as a successful actor in police roles so much that it makes you feel as if even he has started believing he's one, although not an impressive one however much the film tries to make him look like it.
