It's OK till the end. But, in the climax, there is a dialogue of Nila saying that nobody will fall in love with his/her classmate, or if someone falls in love, he/she won't marry each other. I felt that dialogue somewhat unacceptable. Rest all were good.

When a slight slip in morality for a male results in a big complexity is so well articulated in this film's script. Worth the time.

It's the best both malayalam and Tamil version I love
