Remarkable performance by Saiju Kurup as Mahendran with his subtle character portrayal and light humour moments in the series.

Kudos to Christy Sebastian for giving a complete entertainer with the crisp and fine cuts,Prathap Raveendran & Satheesh Nellaya for the brilliant set work and their effort in creating a nostalgic experience of a government office is really appreciable. Sidhartha Pradeep's BGM's,Vishnu's sound mixing and VFX/colour grading team gave more life to the movie as a whole.
