Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Sharrath Sandith's directorial debut after years as an ad filmmaker — the 150-minute runtime suggests nobody told him 'no.'
Mammootty's communist characters (Varavelpu, Pranchiyettan, now Alex) form an unofficial trilogy of leftist dad cinema that Malayalam audiences can't quit.
