Reasons:
1. It is technically brilliant..cinematography in specific
2. For a 3 and half hr movie there is no point where you get bored or does the screenplay slacken. The narration is good too.
3. Brilliant performances from the lead characters. Sarath Kumar shines in the tailor-made, author-backed essay of Edachena Kunkan. Kaniha and Padmapriya play their parts well. Mammukoya, Nedumudi Venu and Thilakan score irrespective of their blink-and-you-miss roles. Manoj K Jayan, Suman and Suresh Krishna are apt. (Do I need to say about Mammootty's acting)
4. Maestro and his music. The songs are picturized neatly. IR fans may miss the brilliant Ambum Kombum (comes partly in the BGM. I felt it was a forced inclusion in the BGM. Its very difficuly not to include such a magnificient song) and the melodic Odathandil (doesnot feature and I am not complaining).
In certain places, especially war/fight scenes and some forest scenes, I felt that the BGM was numbed to an extent by the sound recording (sound of swords, guns, horses etc).
Use of Harness in some fight scenes looked artificial. (but the hanging scenes have been picturized brilliantly)
Mammootty speaking in English towards the climax doesn't gel well.
All said and done its a really good movie. Guys! Go Watch It!
