  So much anticipation acting behind the release of this movie truly proves how it is a gimmick. A bunch of amateur filmmakers try & fail abruptly in creating a suspense-filled horror show. Much like his previous work Yakshiyum Njaanum, Vinayan takes up an interesting topic & adds ennui-inducing elements to it. Yes, viewers love horror genre but turning it into a comedy show is worse than making a drama film. Actors are newbies and the actor who played Dracula is appreciable but isn't fully himself. Supporting cast cannot act, cannot lip-sync nor can I decipher their dialogs properly. On the other hand, dialogs suck to the core, action sequences are full of goofs, terrible cinematography & awful photography. Ten minutes into the screenplay, improper lighting & setup actually works against the film and turns the viewer off. Some songs in between are brought up just for the heck of it and actresses flashing their cleavages and wearing scanty clothes is the perfect inkling to why you should skip this. Not a single scene in this 140 minutes of torture makes sense. Avoid! BOTTOM LINE: Not Recommended due to its shoddy narration & vague adaptation of the famous vampire. This is, actually a shame for the Malayalam industry. Can be watched with a typical Indian family? NO Profanity: No | Nudity/Vulgarity: Mediocre | Sex/Foreplay: No | Mouth- Kiss: Mild | Violence/Gore: Strong | Smoking/Alcohol/Drugs: No
