During a conversation, the central characters of the film, who are lawyers, agree upon the idea that in life there is no black and white, but everything is different shades of grey. However, it is important to note that the most basic combination to make grey is black and white.
Junior advocates Ebin Mathew (Tovino Thomas) and Madhavi Mohan (Keerthi Suresh) are friends who share the common struggles of any junior lawyer. As they try to build their careers, they face obstacles that would even question their personal commitments. The film is about how the duo, who are equally competent and egoistic, handles the situation.
Vishnu G Raghav's debut directorial based on Janiz Chacko Simon's story, is a courtroom drama that attempts to speak on a socially relevant issue building through the lives of two legal professionals, who are also partners. The film, which reminiscences many movies in multiple languages where relationship conflicts arise due to professional commitments, is weakly scripted and gives a wrong notion on assault and feminism.
Though Tovino Thomas has managed to showcase Ebin decently, Keerthi Suresh who appears in Malayalam cinema in a lead role after a while fails to give life to Madhavi. She makes a too forceful effort to play the ' strong woman' that society now celebrates through fashionable feminism. While she strives hard to be the 'bold' character which lacks depth from the script itself through her body language and unsmiling face, the movie once again reinforces the masculine objectification on contemporary women.
