Performance
Analysis
Pritviraj Sukumaran’s
performance make the movie live. One man stellar show was this one from him in
which he was so convincing and natural. Mostly at the climax scenes where he
scores bigtime with his fine dialogue delivery.
Renji Panikkar with his strong English uttering skills made a mark while Javed Jaffrey made his entry to the Mollywood through a lovely role. Rest of the cast including Anu Mohan, Shobha Mohan, Sudheer Karamana and Hareesh Peradi done their short roles okay.

Technical
Analysis
Major Ravi still is the
best man to churn out the Military movies that matters in the industry. After a
long Major Ravi is back by Picket 43 to the league which he once promised through
his first 3 films. This is another good watch from this director who provides
an emotionally heavy film which touches the hardships of an army man,
patriotism, an unusual friendship and the untold unity between the countries.
Ratheesh Vega's
department done a plain job considering the genre of the film. Two soft
melodies featured in the stretch of the film which synced with the mood. BGM
was not so remarkable, could have done a better job.
Ranjan Abraham's cuts
were lacking the sharpness anticipated, it was a relief to see there were not
many unwanted scenes or sequences in the movie.
Jomon T John's camera was one of the major highlights of the movie through which he captured all the beauty as well as the darkness of the border.
