Among the senior cast, Urvashi was simply outstanding, the vintage Uravshi, top notch acting.
Praveena also excelled in her role, other actresses also did their parts well.
The male actors also portrayed their roles as demanded, casting was near-perfect, no one to be picked as excellent or poor here.
Congratulations to Anjali Menon for this marvellous debut, we know its not easy for a lady to make her mark in such bold letters in her maiden venture itself.
Special thanks to Prithviraj for being the soul of this film - whatever be your other films this year, you can hold your head high the end of the year with your contribution to Manjadikuru.
Talking about he negatives, Rahman's voice/dubbing was poor and sounded very artificial, it was really showing in a film where everything else felt natural.
