What the critics say
Critics call this a rooted, dialect-driven Kerala family comedy that turns a familiar elopement plot fresh through sincere, largely unknown performances, sharp writing and camerawork, with only a slow stretch and a couple of weaker side characters noted.

76
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 6 readings; 4 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
