Trivia

In April 2020, a few days after the film's premiere on Amazon Prime Video, social media in Kerala and Tamil Nadu erupted with accusations against the makers for mocking late LTTE leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran through a scene involving a dog. Abusive comments were made against the director, the producer, senior cast members, and even the family members of the crew. It was later clarified that the scene paid homage to a character by the same name in 1988 film Pattanapravesam (1988). The producer had to publicly apologize also mentioning that the scene, which involved Suresh Gopi, was supposed to be a joke.

User Reviews

Average, Not anywhere close to the hype

It's the starcast and the popular directors sons debut which probably created the hype for this movie, the script was very average, casting was good but the characters lacked depth and didn't connect the dots. Overall a very average movie experience. Also it was pretty poor effort to create jokes by repeating old movie dialogues of same actors.
