A film with a life threatening disease at its center, but not at all a tear-jerker, far from it. It is a refreshing comedy. It is only rarely one can see a film that generates comedy in such dark situation. But it is not dark comedy. The film deals with how a family comes to terms with the mother fighting cancer. The story is told in a light way, with even serious situations generating a laugh or two. The women are strong whereas the men falter. The comedy is mostly situation comedy. That too is a departure from the common slap stick variety familiar to Malayalam audience. It can also be described as a feel-good movie.
