Ann Maria is a soothing watch and kudos to Midhun for pulling it off well. Sunny sheds of a lot of his inhibitions and plays a lovable vadaka gunda well supported by Aju...!! I'd take names of Bijukuttan chetan, Dharmajan chetan,Saiju chetan, Leona... And the less mentioned cast in the reviews that i read, who had played their parts effectively. and the very lovable bengaliSanthosh... . Its a joyful watch and of course the charming angel is the cherry on the cake. And cheers to a well thought of background score..!!
