2/10
Terrible. Please read this before you pay for this.

This review will save your time and money. Specifically, 2 hours and 55 minutes.

Plain and simple, the movie is trash. With all due respect to Vineeth Sreenivasan, please do not turn into a Mollywood Karan Johar. We don't need another of that.

I would give it a 0/10. But there are 2 exact things I liked in the movie. The music, and the cinematography. The editing and shots taken are very good. Nothing groundbreaking though.

Coming to those who say it brought back their engineering days. Brothers and sisters, I am an engineering graduate from a National engineering college, this is NOT how it is. Ragging isn't like this. Love doesn't work this way. Toxic relationships will do nothing but mess up your life. Friendships are never this platonic.

The movie uses a countless number of cliches. A differently abled college peon, a warden everyone hates, evil seniors, innocent juniors, a breakup phase which is about 7% accurate, and the normal "the MC goes for a journey by himself for self discovery and all of a sudden he's a purely innocent and good hearted snowflake with a sudden entrepreneurial spirit. Sure.

Humour. Zero. If any of the terrible ass jokes in this movie made you laugh, you have a very very low threshold of humour.

Romance. The cliche. Ex-girlfriend is reminded of her INSANELY TOXIC RELATIONSHIP seeing him getting married, and feels emotionally broken. I hate movies like these spreading a false image of love or marriage throughout young minds. Might I also add that every girl who is supposed to be percieved as "beautiful" is fair and every mediocre girl, especially one from the poor neighborhood, is dark? Okay?

Pranav Mohanlal. Brother, I don't know if your father forced you into this. If he did, get out of this. Immediately. Take your own advice from this film and find your passion. Because acting isn't one of them. Every dialogue you delivered felt like someone was holding up the script for you. Couldn't even make up to 0.06% of the acting your father did at your age. Please. Stop.

Overall, do not watch this movie. I was counting the minutes till it ended. I was drinking water to pass the time. The only thing I enjoyed was the drive to the theatre and back home. Enikk thettupatti, ningalkk pattaruth. Paisa yo samayamo kalayaruth.
