ETimes verdict
ETimes has rated the film out of 3.5 stars. The review reads: “Mohanlal, Rahim Naik – first in name and then in presence – is seen very effectively on the film. The characters and backgrounds pack more of a punch, and Mahesh makes it clear that he can present Mohanlal as a ‘mass’ in any genre. The action sequences are loaded, and the confrontations, Sushin Shyam’s background music and soft dialogues lift the film at key moments. It certainly has several high points. Manush Nandan’s cinematography is to be commended, effectively complementing the film’s visuals.Fahadh Faasil is in his element as Shakthi Sundaram. Kunchacko Boban is excellent as Michael Devassy. All these characters are interconnected; there are mutual feelings, and at the same time many calculations above everything. When Fahadh’s character says that what they built is not followers but faith, it is true for both the characters and the actors.’DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article have been collected from public and industry sources.
