Home is a feel-good family film directed by Rojin Thomas. The film stars Indrans, Sreenath Bhasi, Naslen and Manju Pillai in the lead roles.

Home unfolds the story of most of the present-day families. The film revolves around Oliver Twist (Indrans), who constantly tries to get close to his son Antony (Sreenath Bhasi), a filmmaker who has nomophobia. Despite this, Antony doesn't take his father's feelings seriously and taunts him for being technologically challenged. All this leads to a problematic situation in Antony's career, causing a trivial issue with his father. What happens next and how Antony realizes the worth of his father and family form the rest of the plot.

Home speaks the story of the majority of people and families in the world. It specifically points to how mobile and technology have taken over the boomers, leaving little to no time for their parents and family. The film throws light upon the importance of living your life free of technology and with people around you. It also highlights how mobile phones have unconsciously affected our lives in a drastic manner.

The film carries a very relevant subject and message. It is an eye-opener for the boomer generation on how ignorant they have been towards their technologically uneducated parents. The film strongly conveys the emotions of parents, for which the credit goes to its cast and their performance.

The film's cast includes Indrans, Sreenath Bhasi, Naslen and Manju Pillai. Hats off to Indrans. He is the backbone of this film with truly remarkable performance. He strongly holds the credit for the emotional foundation the film is built on. Sreenath Bhasi is yet another strong part of the film. He has balanced the paradoxical emotional state that every youngster today goes through. Naslen has given his best performance till date. Manju Pillai was very convincing and befitting for the role of Kuttiyamma (Oliver's Wife). Performance-wise, the film stays solid and deserves accolades.

Neil D' Kunha's cinematography is another beautiful aspect of the film. The film journeys through many beautiful frames and colours. It carries the moments with its beautiful visuals and keeps up a pleasant mood throughout the film. Visually the film is wonderful.

Written and directed by Rojin Thomas, the film tries to lift a very beautiful and worthy message, which it did portray successfully, but not in the most effective manner. The film throughout was enjoyable, but the frequency of the writing was up and down. It has some witty, emotional, and lovely moments, but at the same time, the pace and the predictable writing take it down the steep.

Despite the minor flaws, the film is emotionally captivating with Indran's strong performance. A bit more betterment in direction and script could have carved an amazing feel-good drama.
