The other highlight of the picture is it’s a Blessy film. He is a director who strode into the hearts of the Malayalam audience with his class and the themes of his movies. All the previous films he took were very much linked to the real life and emotions of the common people. Once we see the movies, we take it inside and we travel with the characters. We complete the journey together and thereafter the characters remain within ourselves very much alive.
Blessy has unique style of narration that stimulates the emotions and feelings in the minds of the viewers. There was wide appreciation for all his previous projects by all section of audience. Without any exaggerations he tells a normal story in an unusual way that seems different and interesting to the audience.
And every time he worked with the Malayalam acting legend Mohan Lal, the result was a visual treat to the film lovers. The two previous projects of them, ‘Thanmatra’ and ‘Bhramaram’ were two films that set a new standard for the Malayalam film industry. The appreciations to these films came across the boundaries of languages. Even the Bollywood directors and stars praised the acting skills of Mohan Lal and the directorial talents of Blessy. And once again they are here on the screen, together and the viewers are expecting nothing else.
