Production

This film marks the return of actor Badusha (nephew of Cochin Haneefa) who acted as a child in Pappayude Swantham Appoos (1992).[4][5]

Reception

edit

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "There is hardly any notable performance from the actors simply because there is scarcely anything for them to work with. It’s a shoddily made film with a shallow narrative in which nothing happens but characters stand together accompanied by irritable levels of background music".[6]
