An excellent story about an OCD sufferer (Fahadh Faasil) and his change on his journey to help a fellow passenger. He comes off as anti-social at first, but through the well weaved story, he gradually softens a bit and you start to really feel for his character. Swathi Reddy and Nedumudi Venu, his fellow companions, contribute their excellent acting to make this one great feel good story. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's sad, but beginning to end, you are fully engaged and never bored. The music and all the fun side characters round out the movie to make this one hit and a must see. It will make you stop and realize, the world is not such a bad scary place and it takes all kinds of people to make it an interesting journey.

Perhaps the first of its kind in the a contemporary self realization genre in recent malayalam cinema. There could not be a better actor than Fahad Fasil to playy the central character in this movie.

If you like Anbe Sivam, then you'll love this road movie. Top class performance by Fahaad and Nedumudi. Loved it. A great drama to relax on a Sunday afternoon.
