First of all the film isn't boring at all. It might not be relatable for working age youths cause this film would be too cute for them, but perfect for hopeless romantic's at school's, and maybe to an extent for college students.
Naslen who started doing support roles like Dileep through this film might have finally become another main role actor in the industry. Naslen has done his homework very well to establish it well. The moment's where he shows his shyness reminds me as copied from the late actor Innocent, the moment's where he shows his shamelessness and playfulness reminded me of the much younger hustler-type Mohanlal. There were moments of him that reminded me of Dileep's certain reactions to situations in films, and Tovino's when it became a matter of saying things straight but with a Naslen touch. So, he is putting in his effort in creating an appeal with the audience. Mamita was able to convey her role and express the required emotions very well, however, I felt she should have done more to top it, cause it felt very subdued and lacked that bursting energy. She also needs to take care of herself when the truth is that the older actresses in the industry are trying very hard to capture youth. Shyam Mohan, a person whom I haven't seen before or remember seeing in films through this one has definitely become a recognisable actor with the richness of the character he embodied, and I would like to see him in more star-studded films to see if he could give more competitive acting. Sangeeth Prathap also did a recognisable role. Unfortunate casting, and people who had nothing to perform were Meenakshi and Mathew, both of them were added as fillers and it wasn't required for the film. Someone new should have been given the chance, just to expand the roster of actors in the industry. Meenakshi shouldn't have agreed to it, cause it was a role where she wasn't even able to channel her energy into the character.
For me from the moment Devaragam 2.0 was performed, a happy kind of cringe came over me. A very common characteristic of Naslen films. Film is a simple puppy love story, and people who are in it are able to do it in their own terms and freedom is what makes it into a whole story. Only objection that I have is that the Sachin character was going to U. K., a place where no one sensible would go for their studies anymore. I don't know if it would have been more romantic or not if Sachin didn't board the plane. The film could have released with two versions, I believe something like that has been done before, but it was a long time ago. So, there was an opportunity for it in this film.
Overall, it's an enjoyable watch, so I do recommend watching it now through theaters or later through streaming services. A very family friendly film.
