Review
[edit]Though Shankar-Suresh have won in story selection and roping in the cast and the crew, they have missed out on presenting the film in a racy manner. But still, Inayathalam impresses in parts.worst cast selection. Even the lead actors fails to impress. Lot of flaws. Its always difficult to make a movie. But please use it wisely.[6]
