on

as
a

and
beautiful
film
that
departs

from
director

previous
filmography.
The
film,
written,
directed,
and
co-produced
by

marks
a
tonal
shift
for
the
filmmaker,

known
for

introspective
dramas.

the
lead
roles.

Yesudas,
and

Varghese
are
also
part
of
the
ensemble
cast.
According
to
Vivek
Ranjit’s
post,
Paranthu
Po
comes
across
as
a
film
worth
watching.
He
also
singled
out
the
performances
of
Shiva,
Mithul
Ryan,
Grace
Antony,
Aju
Varghese,
and
Vijay
Yesudas,
noting
Shiva’s
role
as
his
“best
so
far.”

as
a
notable
