Another V K Prakash film hits the celluloid milieu. This time around he has got a good writer, Anoop Menon, in his kitty. The script and movie is on a floating level just above the reality status. The decision to shoot the film with digital camera also plays a major role to achieve this feel. The underlying theme of the story is that every relationship or connection is based on the fact someone expects something from the other or vice versa. With this set, a paraplegic (Stephen), an outsider/stranger (John) who befriends the paraplegic and a home nurse (Anjali) for the paraplegic are thrown in. Many sequences and lines delivered by Jayasurya brings out his thoughts about being bed-ridden. And most of it just kind of zereos in on the sensual part of life. And it doesn't come as a surprise that the home nurse is either always drenched in water or wet. The story keeps moving in and out of the main theme and sometimes it runs the point right through to the heart. Other than that, I would say that the script is not that strong but I felt compelled to watch the whole movie unfurling with every shot. This may be attributed to the positive attitude that is maintained throughout the movie. The use of digital camera and some crisp editing brings in some of the best rain sequences ever witnessed in malayalam movies. And the BGM is also something that stood out really well. Overall this is not a stellar movie but it is worth spending 2 hours for the effort.
