Deepu karunakaran ’s (director) delayed horror film, though the Dileep starrer comedy flick Crazy Gopalan, made into the theatres. Hit Movie Crazy Gopalan made the director get some attention inside and outside the industry.

The Story about  Dr. Ramdas (Jayaram), a medical practitioner based on Hyderabad. With their two kids, the doctor and his wife (Bhavana) plans to move away from the fast paced life in the city, to a quiet corner in the outskirts of the city. There, they take up a rambling big mansion. The kids and the doctor are very much thrilled to be in a big house with plenty of rooms, but in a very few days they realise that their house is no ordinary one. The spooky and eerie mansion which holds a piece of terror at its every points makes thorn encounter the horror, that they never ever have expected.

Jayaram has done a nice job, though there is nothing much to do for him other than to repeat what he has done in his earlier films. Bhavana looks visibly out of place as the mother of two kids and has just the same expression in her face most of the time. The rest of the cast including Manoj K Jayan and T G Ravi have nothing much to do. Vijeesh aka Noolunda has some comic acts to perform, but he seems to be in a hurry to complete his job, which makes it ineffective.

What one looks forward to in a horror movie is an engrossing story that takes the viewer into a different world altogether, but such things are sorely missing here. The background score is nice in parts but often it sounds too boisterous without any logic. The visuals are okay but the music is nothing to rave about. Overall the movie worth watch once in a while

Verdict: Timepass
