Sangeeth Shobhan, a standout performer in the ensemble, delivers a captivating performance as an introverted character from a small town, enhancing the narrative's depth and timing.
Ram Nithin in the role of the group’s charming ladies’ man, chased after every girl in the college was also good.
Technical Aspects: Bheema Ciciroleo’s musical contribution lacks any particularly memorable elements.
The film's zany humor is effectively complemented by the background score, while cinematography duties were shared by Shamdat and Dinesh Krishnan B, despite room for improvement.
Naveen Nooli's editing enhances storytelling, while the screenplay caters to younger audiences' sensibilities, but not all content is successful.
