He carries the weight by always being around. Mamitha Baiju has more of a cursory role than anything. Suraj Venjaramoodu and Jayaram possess a similar degree of both comic and serious depth. Their dynamic balances out the overt sentimentality. GV Prakash’s evocative score sets the tone throughout. Not too loud, and not totally missing.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
