    Average movie
    Watched after hearing few good reviews. I found it strictly average. Mammootty's screen presence couldn't help the weak writing.

    The twists are very predictable. Manju Warrier's character is an extended cameo. Could have been given to some other actress. In fact no actors had any chance to perform a memorable scene. I don't know what was the intention of Saniya Iyyapan's role.

    Director tried to make a James Wan style movie but ended up with a mediocre script with lot of cliches.
