“This movie is about eerie events sorrounding a middle aged woman who is gradually losing her memory to Alzheimeru0026#39;s disease.nWhat I really liked about the movie is how it combines traditional and modern practices in various scenes.nUsually Malayalam horror movies as well as many other horror movies have a typical pattern: a woman is abused in some manner and dies. Her soul doesnu0026#39;t attain salvation and she is thirsty for revenge. A priest comes and solves the issue. But this movie is quite different from that pattern. Though horror and fantasy movies are not rational as such, it is supposed to have its own logic. For instance Harry Potter has its own rules which is logical with respect to its level. Similiary many horror movies have its own rules which appear quite silly. But the fantasy logic in this movie is well presented.nOn the whole, I really liked this movie very much and consider it to be one of the best Malayalam horror movies of all times.”
