Below Average...Good theme presented in a bad way.

The adopted daughter of the natives of England, who lived years ago in an estate in Munnar, is missing. The gist of the story is a search for a priceless treasure hidden by a mother hoping for the return of her missing daughter. After many years, the parents went to their own country. And this story is a hero's search for the person responsible for the death of his friend and colleague, an archaeologist, who came to investigate this after 80 years. The lead character Simon Daniel was more or less safe with actor Vineet Kumar.

I did not understand why such a person was introduced as the heroine. A woman who doesn't know how to put any emotion and expression on her face...I didn't understand why there was a scene in the last part of the story where the heroine turns into a villain. Divya's action scenes beat comedy movies. Sorry to say too bad Mrs. Divya. The director's casting went terribly wrong. Maybe this story will continue even without Divya in the film. If Mathews himself is the villain in the end, but the story doesn't change much.

There are unnecessary shots in many parts of the movie. The antics that make it look like a house with fairies are not scary. Expect more from a cameraman in such a beautiful and green location. But the camera, editing, background score and script are all below average. The director seems to be a newcomer. It seems that a good story is portrayed very poorly due to lack of experience.

The archaeologist is an ordinary man. I don't think that a Malayalam movie would be successful by casting him as a man with supernatural, indescribable and supernatural powers as seen in Telugu cinema. I didn't like the movie.

2022 Indian movie directed by Sajan Antony starring Vineeth Kumar, Divya Pillai, Sreeraman and Sunil Sukhada. The feature film is produced by Rakesh Kuriakose and the music composed by Varun Krishna.

Watchable Movie
binoymat9 June 2023
This is a watchable movie. Compared to the many craps coming out in malayalam, this was much better. The acting is average but it does keep the viewer engaged. Also the location of the shoot is really good.

The major issue i found with the movie was its climax. The makers could have made it a little clear rather than revealing eveything in a quick shot. Also it doesnt show as to what happened with the diamond. I also felt that viewers will be able to guess the killer before the climax. The reveal is not very surprising.

But these flaws are ok and you should watch it atleast for the breath taking scenery of the shoot location.
