This is a very underrated film in my opinion. It is a work of art. Music, theme, script, choreography.. take your pick and the film have excelled in it. Narendra prasad have played his part to brilliance. Even though Suresh Gopi, Geetha and Maniyanpilla Raju have done equally well, it is Jayaram that steals the show. Man, what a performance! The scene in which Jayaram walks into darkness while Maniyanpilla Raju sings 'Seethakalyana' shall remain in my memories forever! As for alternate beliefs, more than driving one into blind theism, what this film serves to do is to make us wonder if outright atheism is any different from blind theistic believes. It makes us think, shouldn't we be searching for truth before we reject it's very existence. If you haven't watched yet, don't think twice, just go at it already!
