This realism sets the tone for the narrative.

There is so much detailing in the movie - be it the period setting, the costumes, the backdrop settings including houses, street, people, even the mirror and bed. From the word go, the story is gripping and intriguing. Yet the intensity of the events that unfolds, with two orthodox Muslim and Hindu family, so defined by their religion, takes the blandness out of the narrative. This real life tale's reel adaptation is realistic without the kind of melodrama that one associates with loves stories.

The way the movie has been conceived makes one want to applaud RS Vimal, the movie's director and writer. Life in all its glorious complexities, a love that challenges perceptions and of course endless rain - 'Ennu Ninte Moideen', without going over the top has etched out a beautiful tale of all emotions that humans are capable of.
