The film deals with a child's desire to meet his father, beginning when he finds a clue in a piece of paper in his mother's trunk. The wanderings of the boy's mind and the real unraveling of the world, which is a mix of dreams, desires, and reality, are portrayed in the movie. The film features Master Alexander, Biju Menon, Jagadish and Shwetha Menon in the lead roles. Master Alexander won the Best Child Actor award in an online poll conducted by The Times of India. The film opened in Kerala theatres on 9 April 2010 to universal acclaim. It was screened at various international film festivals and has garnered several awards.
