      Must watch for cinephiles
      The great thing about this movie is more is depicted in folk songs played and the long shots that have been captured just beautifully ... The movie follows basic idea but executes it beautifully.i would ve understood it even well if i was known with malaylam lieterture more but the folk songs are just beautiful.

      You can watch it on youtube its uploaded by potato eater collective.

      The acting by actors is great they have still faces and expressive ones ...a mivie where there is a lack of dialouge and such close ups make us feel how the charecter is feeling... it tries to potray people living in period of the film and accomplishes it well... U should give it a try for sure.
