After a decade worth of experience in Malayalam cinema, SoubinShahir's debut directorial 'Parava' has hit the screens. And in many ways it's an impressive work, filled with life-like characters and images. Both DulquerSalman and Shane Nigam have delivered splendid performances but it's the two new kids that steal the show.The score by Rex Vijayan was a delight. Congrats AnwarIkka,SoubinShahir,DQ and the entire team.
