This time, Ashraf Hamza tries to make his venture more colourful with songs and settings in a marriage house.

Entertainment

It is set in Ponnani, a small town in Malappuram. Haala Parveen (Anarkali Marikar) has a love affair in her teens and ends it after a funny incident.

Entertainment

Haala has no good relationship with his brother Samir (Chemban Vinod Jose). Haala agrees to marry Ameen. But they have only 14 days to their wedding.

Entertainment

Ameen wants to know Haala but the latter shows no interest. Ameen thinks Haala neither cares for him nor respects him.

Entertainment

The director tries to talk about the issue at a time when the divorce rate is already on the rise in society. However, the film isn’t preachy.

Entertainment

Vishnu Vijay’s music is the soul of the movie. Choreography is another highlight.
