Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nivin Pauly and Nazriya's chemistry here led to their casting together in multiple hits; this was also Bobby Simha's breakthrough after 'Soodhu Kavvum'.
The film captures early-2010s Kerala's IT boom anxiety — engineering degrees that promised everything and delivered nothing.
