The film shouldn't be compared to any Macbeth adaptation.
Keeping the fishing community in the foreground, the Tulunaad Daivas and Yakshagaana as a certain means of ignition and flow (respectively) in the screenplay and with lust for a simple materialistic thing as the instigator, this film is wonderfully made with a really haunting background music. The lead actors, though I haven't seen them in any films previously have done a simple yet brilliant job in their fields. The support cast are also in their own leagues. The locations are apt to the story telling with cinematographer doing his best. The direction too is applause worthy.
As for the story, the old woman in the wheel chair was of no relevance. Post the 'chilling incident', the intensity of the lead characters being haunted by what they have done is not as strong as it should have been. The same BG music is everywhere and is at times a tad too much.
In short, a film made in the midst of releases of unwanted and shamelessly made comedy films with over acting theater actors, has made Tulunaad proud.
I watched it on Amazon Prime (..was very happy to find a Tulu film of such caliber on Amazon Prime).
Congratulations to Abhaya Simha and Team. Well done.
