There is an honesty to this film that immediately stands out. It never feels like a crowd-pleasing entertainer trying to satisfy everyone. At its core, this story could have been set in any profession and still remained just as relevant. The protagonist happens to be an aspiring director, but the film is really about surviving in a fiercely competitive environment. It portrays ambition, politics, societal expectations, insecurities, and heartbreak with brutal honesty.

Ironically, the marketing gives a completely different impression. The meme-based promotions, the title, and seeing Naslen in the lead might make you expect a light hearted, feel good entertainer. Instead, the film takes a much darker, more introspective route, which could divide us the audience. In hindsight, both the marketing and even the title could have better reflected the film's actual tone. However, if you've watched the director's previous film, Mukundan Unni Associates, you'll have a much clearer idea of the kind of protagonist and storytelling to expect.

Naslen's character isn't written to be instantly likeable, and that's exactly what makes him work. He gradually grows on you, becoming increasingly relatable as the story unfolds. It's one of his most convincing performances to date. The screenplay is packed with satire, uncomfortable truths, and meta-commentary. Rather than glorifying the film industry, it strips away the romance and exposes its politics, ego clashes, hypocrisies, and emotional toll. Sharafudheen, Sangeeth Prathap, Vineeth Sreenivasan, and the rest of the supporting cast deliver a really good performances throughout

Technically, the film is brilliant. The sound design is exceptional and Jakes Bejoy needs special appreciation his music elevates the emotional weight of several key scenes.

Overall, this isn't a feel-good entertainer or a conventional commercial film. Its an unconventional, layered story that explores multiple themes while not spoon-feeding every emotion or idea. I genuinely enjoyed the experience. If you're open to watching something different and unique, this is for you...

Did the industry push them into this trap or that greed of BO numbers of Commercial films... What's your take on this guys, why do you think this happens?

Script ye change ayipothundhi 😂

Watched this film three days ago, took my sweet time soaking in the experience it gave me, and thought what better way to review it than with this amazing edit.

There are films that keep your heart racing, make you anticipate every twist, and leave you wondering what happens next. Then there are films that feel like a soft breeze...warm, comforting, and pleasant. This one belongs to the latter (There are more ways describing the movies but I am sticking to these two now😏)

The first thing I want to appreciate is how beautifully it uses Chekhov's Gun principle. The film carefully plants setups and delivers satisfying payoffs, not just once but multiple times, making every detail feel meaningful. It definitely takes its time to build the world, but somewhere along the way, you'll find yourself completely drawn into it.

Ironically, the characters with the most screen time are sheep, yet each of them has a distinct personality and charm. They're written and portrayed so well that, after a point, you stop worrying about how the mystery will unfold and become more excited to see what the sheep will do next. They genuinely steal the show.

Yes, the narrative can feel slow at times, but every scene involving the sheep more than makes up for it. Through them, the film gently explores ideas about God, life, memories, and what it means to be different. It never feels preachy, only thoughtful and quietly thought-provoking.

I absolutely loved Mopple and Sebastian. And every time Hugh Jackman's character appeared on screen, I couldn't help but smile. A big shoutout to all the voice artists as well... they brought every sheep to life perfectly.

This may not be an edge-of-your-seat, high-intensity suspense thriller, but it's a beautifully simple mystery thriller with a lot of heart. More than keeping you on the edge of your seat, it leaves you with a smile on your face and sometimes, that's exactly the kind of film you need... Hope you do experience the same once you watch this film...

I couldn't sleep last night, so I opened Netflix looking for something to watch. I came across this film, noticed it was highly rated, and decided to go in completely blind and I'm glad I did.

The film begins at a slow, deliberate pace, following a man determined to uncover the truth behind a mysterious story. As the narrative progresses, and the way everything gradually unfolds and where it ultimately leads is incredibly satisfying.

Beyond its story, the film carries a deeper philosophical meaning. It beautifully captures the harshness of mountain terrains, brutal winds, temperature dropping below -40°C, the mental state of those who choose to climb them, and what drives people to risk their lives in pursuit of something so uncertain. It's beautifully portrayed and genuinely hard-hitting at times.

The animation is excellent, though the characters art style is quite different from what we're used to seeing in modern anime. It may take some getting used to, but it has its own unique charm. The music deserves special praise, and the sound design plays a crucial role in elevating the atmosphere and emotional impact of the film.

Overall, this is a beautifully crafted film which is gripping, philosophical with meaningful themes. I'm glad I discovered it by chance....

Even the films in this list which acheived an overall break-even numbers yet couldn't break-even at few areas.... It clearly points out on how low the foot falls were compared to pre-covid levels and the so called box office success was just a loot by exorbitant hikes from the 1st week of the release....
