Sharwanand is just rock solid. He is just getting better and better with each movie. He essays a lovable role and impresses us with a solid performance. His screen presence itself lightens up the ambience. Anupama Parameswaran doesn't let go of the chance and she gives a wonderful performance. The pair looks highly refreshing and their chemistry works out big time. Prakash Raj and Jayasudha are versatile actors and they prove their mettle again. Naresh has a good role and he proves his mettle again.
The biggest strength of the movie is, it is a perfect clean family entertainment. The climax showcasing emotions is the biggest strength of the movie. Editing is also crisp and most of the scenes are not dragging. However, some emotional scenes test our patience. Family values are conveyed through some strong dialogues. Music is not so catchy. However, BGM works big time. Production values are also high. The movie doesn't have much twists to keep us hooked and that is a big minus.
These days we couldn't find much family dramas. But this movie is an exception. Casting is the biggest strength and that worked well for the movie. The family values are showcased on a bigger line. Cinematography is another big asset as the visuals look super vibrant. Dil Raju's production values are top notch. Dialogues are the backbone of the movie and they are meaningful. Satish has done a wonderful job as director.
