    'Ozhimuri' have already won attention through its simple yet meaningful stills and posters. The whole movie pictured with a tinge of yellow light salient in most of its shot already speaks of the separation and the withering away of relationships. Its been long since colour codes have been utilized in Malayalam Cinema. The film so far claims to be yet another project pioneering a change. Looks like the glory of Malayalam cinema is once again regaining its grandeur.
