I'm sad that I couldn't catch this in theatres... Such an exceptional craft... The primary reason for watching this movie since it's announcement was undoubtedly due to its crew. Chidambaram proved once again to be one of the most amazing film makers of this generation. Writing by Jithu Madhavan was truly exceptional and cinematography by Shyju Khalid was just out of this world. Special mention to Sushin Shyam for the bang on soundtrack. Coming to performances, Adisheshan, who played the younger version and Muhammad Zinaan as the older version of the boy were both just immaculate... Farzana Palathingal as the mother did a phenomenal job to convey the emotions of a mom. I was surprised to see Jean Paul perform so well. Although I've seen his other works, honestly none have struck with me till I saw this one. But still, with all of these people giving such stellar performances, the character who stuck in my mind even after the credits rolled was Abbas played by Tovino Thomas. Dude gave a never seen before performance for this movie and this has to be one of my favourite characters played by Tovino. The emotional depth he brings to this character is a joy to watch and at the same time painful... I felt a weight in my heart when he says "Pettammakku vendi alle... Valathachane ottaam...". Truly his career best performance according to me. A must watch... "Amma varum..."
