Plot

Suni is a daily wages worker, who lives in a modest house with his wife Geetha and their daughter. Geetha had left her home to be with Suni and is pretty sad about her husband’s drinking habit. One night Suni finds a lorry that has just met with an accident. He is excited seeing that the lorry was carrying bottles of foreign liquor. He calls his friends and they decide to loot some boxes of liquor. Their troubles start from then on.

Cast

Production

Biju Menon was approached by writer Pazhoor for the lead role, he agreed to do the role after liking the one-line story. After six months, Pazhoor completed the full screenplay. The female lead role was finalized after the filming began. While they were looking for a suitable actress it was Menon who contacted Samvrutha, she immediately agreed after hearing the story. The film marks the return of Samvrutha in films after a hiatus.[1] Samvrutha filmed for 20 days.[2] The film was shot in a well developed village (Monthal) which is famous for its natural resources and infrastructure between Mahé and Thalassery[3] and in parts of Kannur and Kozhikode. About the film's title, Pazhoor said "You can connect it to Suni. His nature is such that you can't trust him easily until he emphasises that he is telling the truth,".[4]

Soundtrack

The film features songs composed by Shaan Rahman and Vishwajit, while the background scoring was done by Bijibal.[5] Soundtrack album was released by Goodwill Entertainments.
