The film revolves around a once-grand, now-drab hotel in Munnar, where a couple, Pavithran and Haripriya, checks-in for a jolly stay. All the hotel employees and residents seem odd from the beginning itself. Then, a theft happens there and everyone's a suspect
An enjoyable fun-ride from Ratheesh Balachandra Poduval after his family drama Android Kunjappan Ver 5.25 which was released back in 2018.
The genre and theme is absolutely fresh in Malayalam cinema. Absurd Comedy from the beginning to the end. The film was watchable and enjoyable throughout but many of the absurdities which Ratheesh tried to make funny didn't workout very well instead it just bounced back as a failure. But still many of the jokes actually worked and it was really funny. What the film succeeded is in keeping a fun-chill-mood until the end. Which is a great plus-point in the film.
The performance from all the actors were incredibly enjoyable and applaudable. Especially the performance of Grace Anthony, Vinay Forrt and Jaffer Idukki.
The technical aspects were greatly impressive, inspired from The Grand Budapest Hotel and other Wes Anderson films. The frames, composition, lighting and the color grading, all made the movie look more aesthetically pleasing to the viewer and accomplished in establishing a good mood and tone for the entire film.
Overall, the film is worthy of watching and an appreciable experiment from Ratheesh Balachandra Poduval. His genre of choice is worth encouraging, it's good that he who made a film like Android Kunjappan made this flick, which means it's a pretty enormous attempt.
