Premise
Vivekanandan is a government employee with violent sexual urges and faces repercussions from his victims almost all the time. Fed up of his atrocities, his victims, who also include his wife and live-in partner, decide to teach him a lesson in consent. Interestingly, their revenge ends up going viral online and everyone gets to know about his deviant and predatory behavior.[10]
Veteran director Kamal, who also wrote the film, stated that, "In this film, we are addressing a crucial issue that women face in this era which is not often discussed", and he signed his disciple Shine Tom Chacko for the lead role. He said that he needed an actor without the burden of a huge star image.[3] 5 actresses, Swasika Vijay, Grace Antony, Mareena, Maala Parvathi and Sminu Sijo were signed to play the women comes in the life of Vivekanandan (Shine Tom Chacko).[8][11] Producer Listin Stephen acquired the distribution rights of the film. The film is produced by Nediyath Naseeb and P.S.Shelliraj with Kamaludheen Saleem and Suresh Sak as co-producers.[12] Singer Sithara's song "Oru Chillupaathram" had the first musical release.[13][14] The film was shot at the locations of Thodupuzha and Ernakulam.[3]
Reception
Anandu Suresh of The Indian Express wrote " The film serves as a misguided pamphlet written by men attempting to define feminism, women empowerment, rape, sexual perversion and social media without grasping the basics."[15] While S.R.Praveen of The Hindu wrote " A loud, overdramatic take on an issue that the film fails to grasp"[16]
