Good Story, But Very Predictable
The film wants to emphasize kindness and family love, alongside the hardship of starting a new life in a foreign land. Director Abishan Jeevinth had a good concept. Sadly, everything about the way he tells it seems scripted and forced.
- To bring the family closer to their neighbours, an old lady suddenly dies. Everybody cries together and just like that they bond.
- One has a very unfortunate neighboring family that is supposed to stand as evidence to show however, how Das possesses great interpersonal or communication skills, through a stirring speech.
- By chance, all of a sudden, the police officer’s daughter starts to live with that family; it is just thrown into their plot.

Acting Is the Strong Point The movie’s best asset is acting. The quiet strength that Sasikumar brings to the role of Das is complimented by the work of Simran as the emotionally strong, yet caring mother. They indeed have the appearance of a real couple caught in trouble. This younger son, played by Kamalesh, brings in moments of humor although he does seem a little too chatty at times. Yogi Babu provides some fab comedy too.
