Review

The performance of Nimisha Sajayan, Tovino Thomas, Nedumudi Venu, and a few others is exceptional in the movie.  

The storyline is the biggest drawback with a lengthy screenplay and repeating courtroom scenes. The audience gets the feeling of Deja-vu with courtroom scenes repeating.  

The background score is quite impressive just apt for the scenes and the movie's pace.  

The climax is another flaw in the movie, which is inconclusive on the real motive behind the murder, and the people involved in it.  

The narration of the movie is not at all impressive and especially the manner in which investigation scenes are presented. The sequence of shreds of evidence presented in the court hall looks trivial. Thriller scenes lack the punch to buildup the intensity required. 

Verdict

A thriller that’s slow and tedious. Watch it if you really have time and looking for some great performances from the actors.
