As always Jomon T John again creates a magic on silver screen, with is fantastic visualization. Ranjan Abraham, the editor, has done his job to near perfection, by creating the right balance between the lighter first half and the serious second half. Songs & Background Score Shaan Rahman's songs and background score deserve a special applause. All the songs, especially the Onam song Thiruvaavaniraavu, are beautifully composed. The soulful background score stands hand-in-hand with the narrative, thus making the movie even more impactful.
