Directed by Mohamed Asif Hameed, the movie is a blend of a crime thriller and supernatural drama.

The plot of the movie has several intricate details which makes the movie interesting and at the same time complicated as well.

Mohamed Asif Hameed has put in a lot of detailing into the way the cults function.

Jai Kumar as the cop has done a tremendous job and has done complete justice to the character.

Sayam Siddha and Nasser in important roles have delivered what was expected from them.

Vinoth Kishen appears in a cameo and makes his presence felt.

Anish Mohan’s music is appropriate for the theme of the movie and Giri Murphy’s visuals adds more authenticity to the proceedings.
