Kunchacko Boban is great as Michael Devassy. These characters are all intertwined; there are mutual sentiments, and at the same time, many calculations that stand above everything. When Fahadh’s character says that what they had built is not followers but faith, it rings true for both the characters and the actors. In fact, their interactions carry an undercurrent of real-life conversations. Was it absolutely necessary? Did it work? Very well. What could be called morbid talk is layered with a good deal of philosophy, just before a thrilling car chase. Towards the end, the screenplay get a little messy before it settles, just like in the beginning.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
