The story took me by surprise. The authenticity, the theme, the poignancy - everything is so charming, I was kept mesmerized throughout till fifteen minutes before it ended.
With a fine cast, it talks about how a sixth-grader tries to contact his long-lost father through letters. These letters fall in hand of a daughter of a film-maker and replies. How this epistolary scenes of drama turns into a heart-rending plot is handled carefully till the climax. Biju Menon, the filmmaker tries to adapt this story.
With a calm way of story-telling, the makers have succeeded. Except I still cannot digest the turn of events towards the end, the film , as a whole, is very good.
BOTTOM LINE: Recommended! The boy's performance is a surprise package.
