The production team has now released the official trailer, offering audiences their first comprehensive look at the chaotic village narrative.
A Trailer with a Conscience and a Canine Narrator
The trailer opens with a notable and heartening statutory warning assuring viewers that no animals were harmed during the film's production. This disclaimer holds particular significance as the plot prominently features a vast array of both domesticated and wild animals amidst the unfolding comedic mayhem. Adding a unique narrative layer, popular actor Tovino Thomas lends his distinctive voice to Suttu, the dog who serves as the tale's official narrator.
Plot: A Simple Proposal Sparks Village-Wide Chaos
The central plot, scripted by debutant writer Ravishankar, hinges on a classic case of miscommunication. A young man named Kumar's romantic proposal for Charu unfortunately lands in the wrong ears. What was meant to be a private matter quickly spirals out of control, snowballing into a full-blown village scandal. The trailer teases a cascade of gossip, rampant misunderstandings, and misplaced righteousness, plunging the entire community into hilarious and unpredictable chaos.

It was subsequently screened at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala in 2025, solidifying its place in the festival circuit.
Technical Brilliance and Confirmed Digital Premiere
On the technical front, the film boasts a skilled crew including cinematographer Sabin Uralikandy, editor Chaman Chakko, and music composer Dawn Vincent.
