Critical praise Mari Selvaraj’s execution
According to the official ETimes review, Bison Kaalamaadan excels in its visual and thematic presentation and this is particularly in its flawless transition from black and white to colour which is a technique symbolizing time and transformation.However, our critics have pointed out that while the story’s larger message is powerful, the emotional depth of its protagonist feels somewhat distant. “You see Kittan’s physical reactions, but not his inner world,” the review noted.
