The spelfilm, starring actor Maniyanpilla Raju’s son Niranjan Raju and Joju George, is directed by newbie filmmaker Akhil Marar.

Good plot, but tiring for new-gen people
The movie promises to be a good one, with a good plot and a nice beginning which I never expected. (It was one of the first black&white Malayalam film I was seeing)
But towards the end, it actually makes you really tired with unnecessary length and predictable to the core scenes shot as if they were things no one would ever imagine. Maybe no one did at the time this movie actually released. But for me, who have watched many films(maybe inspired or copied from these), all those felt like ultimate cliché.
The acting was loud, which was more or less expected, but I must say even then, Prem Nazir did a wonderful job. His expressions at times were classic. The fight scenes were hilarious and unnecessarily long. The songs were OK, but came up at totally unnecessary parts of the film.
Overall, its a watchable film. If you manage to sit through some really testy phases, you won't be disappointed at the end.
