Through his seasoned acting, Mysskin brings the character to life, breathing vitality into the film and sparkling as a pivotal character.
Anupama Parameswaran, who plays the role of a college student, former girlfriend, and lecturer, shines in both halves of the film. In the first half, she portrays a carefree and loving personality, while in the second half, she showcases a more mature and experienced performance.
After realizing the harsh realities of the world and parting ways with her former lover, she makes a concerted effort to help him succeed in his studies, demonstrating her growth and depth as a character.
Kayadu Lohar, who plays the role of Pallavi, the future wife, has made a beautiful appearance and contributed to a few scenes. George Mariyan, who plays Pradeep’s loving father, has portrayed a lovable and innocent character who dotes on his son, capturing the audience’s hearts.
The entire cast, including VJ Siddhu, Harshath Khan, K.S. Ravikumar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Indumathi & Thenappan, have added immense strength to the film.
The song lyrics by Vignesh Sivan, Ko Sesha, and Gana Apelow have been set to music by Leon James, resulting in a mesmerizing experience. The background score complements the film’s scenes perfectly.
Cinematographer Niketh Bommi camerawork has skillfully captured the distinct atmospheres of school, IT, and college campuses, showcasing his expertise in framing and angles. Pradeep E. Ragav’s editing adds strength to the screenplay, enhancing the overall narrative.
