Corona Papers Trailer: Priyadarshan’s Upcoming Film, Starring Shane Nigam and Shine Tom Chacko, Promises Drama, Hidden Secrets and Twists! (Watch Video).
OTT Play: "The biggest crime in the film is how some of the characters, who are built up as shrewd criminals, are treated. While Sandhya Shetty’s character gets a taste of this, it’s Shine Tom Chacko’s role that bears the brunt of this. His character mouths tongue twisters, gets enraged for no reason and still comes off as clownish during his interactions with his wife. In fact, there are so many instances where you feel these scenes would have probably drawn sincere laughs, had it been a comedy."
