Evaluate: Anikuttan (Fahadh Faasil), an electrician by career lives in a village close to Wayanad along with his mom Shanta (Jaya Kurup). His father Radhakrishnan (Jaffer Idukki) had dedicated suicide as a result of his daughter ran away on her marriage day. This trauma haunts Anikuttan all the time and he appears to be like down on the decrease caste and will get irritated by sounds, even an toddler’s cry disturbs him.

One monsoon, when it begins to rain closely, neighbours plan to go to the camp, however he refuses. And that night time a landslide hits and he will get trapped below. What occurs to Anikuttan, will he survive and what occurs to his mom kinds the remainder of the film.

Fahadh Faasil is great, the 2 sorts of traits, earlier than the landslide and publish landslide is portrayed by him with ease and perfection; the film belongs to him. Because the traumatised son, a brother who doesn’t need to forgive his sister, and his habits as somebody robust on the surface however very delicate emotionally, is performed to perfection.

The film’s second half talks concerning the landslide that occurred a 12 months again at Rajamala close to Wayanad. Watching the scenes provides you shock waves, of how tough and the way traumatic it might need been for individuals who went by means of the ache. Submit-interval the film is like seeing demise head to head; it will get into your veins, and is implausible technically, visually and acting-wise. All the opposite characters dealt with their components superbly, Indrans as Anikuttan’s uncle Surendran, Jaffer Idukki, and Rajisha Vijayan as Anikuttan’s sister did justice to their characters. Sajimon’s route is great, and he has achieved an excellent job along with his actors.

This can be a must-watch film for Fahad’s efficiency.
