ETimes review
Critical response has been largely positive, with ETimes giving the film 4 stars and praising its performances and technical strengths. The review says, “Both Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph deliver highly engaging performances with effortless comic timing and emotional depth. Tovino’s Kuttan will easily become one of his most celebrated comic roles, revealing a completely different tone to the actor. Basil, on the other hand, proves once again why he remains one of the most relatable performers among today’s young actors.Adding to the fun are the cameos of Vineeth Sreenivasan and Shaan Rahman as themselves, creating several laugh-out-loud moments. Jeo Baby also steals scenes as a caricatured cop, adding a lot to the film’s situational comedy charm.The film also works well technically. Samuel Henry’s cinematography beautifully captures the vibrant campus atmosphere and festival spirit, while Chamman Chacko’s editing keeps the pace lively. Vishnu Vijay’s music elevates the film’s celebratory mood, ably supported by Akhil Damodhar’s art direction and Mashar Hamsa’s costumes.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article have been collected from public and industry sources.
