The movie is set in the eighties in a small village in Kozhikode, Kerala, which witnesses the arrival of its first TV. This might flood the Malayalam audience with a sense of déjà vu.
TV and it's magic also become elementary in sowing the seeds of love between

Suhra

(Sana Althaf) and Basheer ( Farhaan Faasil), while Sheela and Madhu also a play a couple in the movie.
However, the over dosage of the theatrical performance and eighties style dialogues make the film a bit too silly at times.
Sheela's performance and character is highly reminiscent of her role in Manasinakkare.

So far, the movie is no different from any commonplace love stories of the eighties. Will it have anything different to offer post the intermission?
