Analysis: The film has been in the making for three long years as director Sri Vidya was struggling with budget issues. The film is really made on a low budget and once you see the film you never get that feeling as it is rich in texture and visuals. With such a low budget getting that kind of quality itself is great.
This is where the film draws you in the first place. Sri Vidya does not fall prey to commercial aspects and neatly establishes the story. She also runs three threads and confuses the audience as to what is going on in the film. She connects the dots well in the end with a good twist. Technically, the film is super strong with great BGM and camera work.
Female directors are a rarity in today’s world and here is one lady who goes ahead and convinces her work by staying true to her script. This film might not everyone’s cup of tea but still, have all the good work was done that should be appreciated and watched for honest filmmaking.
Rating: 2.75/5
