A CELEBRATION OF DESTRUCTION AND CHAOS
10 October 2022
Set in Kanhangad, a modest town in North Kerala, arrangements are underway for Vijayan's second daughter, Suja's engagement. On what should be a perfect ceremony, the bride is having second thoughts, her father is in a financial mess, and as members of their family arrive one by one, family secrets start to surface. Set within the two days preceding the ceremony, the entire film happens in and around Vijayan's house.

A marriage or engagement is something which we all celebrate! There will be dance and music! But here in this film, the engagement is celebrated with the cancellation of the engagement on the night before the engagement! How? Familial clash, patriarch of the family going crazy out of anger, combating through words and action with relatives, totalitarianism of the patriarch, not having democracy etc etc... Root cause of all these problems is what the film is trying to destroy! What are the root causes? Societal norms, lack of freedom due to regressive thoughts, gossiping, intrusion into someone else's life, stupidity etc etc... All of these destroyed at the end after great chaos!

A Senna Hegde magic! This film doesn't even know how extended or occasional lags will even happen in cinema! Contains such well-written screenplay which has realistic dialogues which will showcase pure realism and events, sequences and acts which succeeds in exciting the viewer and maintaining the rhythm of the film.

Direction is all well-done, the camera movements which the director used are something which are not that seen in mainstream offbeat films, the dynamism of the camera movements gives nothing but a success in capturing the realism with great perfection!

A must watch for all!
