StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

praveen77 One way to look at this film is as clichéd Sathyan Anthikadu reworking his timeworn themes of village life and life lessons. Another way, for the less cynical, is as a lovely little ode to the quintessential Kerala village and its denizens. The sense of comfort one gets from this predictable but well made movie is probably more for the homesick Malayalee.Mohanlal, is of course typically reliable in his role as a bachelor who lives for his mother and who is genuinely thrown off balance by the sudden appearance of a teenager claiming to be his son. The culmination doesn't really matter, it's all about familiar comforts and quintessential Sathyan Anthikadu.
