Bhai took care of her and he was not aware of the thunderstorm waiting for him behind. Many people used this situation to bow out but he has his own way to stand firm. This is an interesting story with an astonishing climax. Please watch the movie to quench the thirst of anxiety. Though come with a grand opening it pulled out of the theatre after some weeks and even Mammootty fans couldn't save the film. The critics gave mixed reviews and they were unanimous in one thing that it would have been a better film if the film crew had a little more concentration given to it. Mammootty and Caroline Beck perfomed competetively. The childish look and simplicity of beck attracted every one. Tini tom as a bystander creates many humorous scenes and the film is an entertainer in one way but failed to create romance between the lead actors. The viewers actually desired and Beck actually deserve a little more love from the megastar. But any way the experiment with a foreign lady as the heroine and Malayalam with a different slang didn't help Mammootty to make a hit.
