He digresses from his original plan to start fresh, and tries to re-ignite his unfulfilled love with Salomi, learns German and foresees Germany as his final destination.

He confides in his local guardian Gopalji, a former student of his father, that the affection showered on Salomi was a lie so that he could obtain a visa in conjunction with the existing emigration rules.

He then works doing manual labor for Gopalji to repay his debt for the necklace, and later resorts to a related profession of a home nurse.

Though initially she sets her dog loose on him after he refused to let her friend Shruthi deliver a burger, they develop a remarkably close relationship.

During a discussion where Tina expresses her desire to meet her father before dying, Prakashan tells her that she has her whole life ahead of her to do so.

[21] Anjana George of The Times of India rated 4 out of 5 stars and wrote: "As PR Akash transforms to Prakashan and realises the beauty of life and God’s own country, we will definitely welcome back Sreenivasan and Sathyan Anthikad, whose films even after three decades manage to encapsulate the Malayali psyche".

[23] S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote: "movie sticks faithfully to the Antikad – Sreenivasan playbook ... while Njan Prakashan might satisfy those who yearn for more of the same from the 90s' Sathyan-Sreeni world, it would be a disappointment for those looking for novelty".

There are some laughs in the beginning but the comedy becomes predictable and the situations become less interesting ... Sreenivasan’s script lacks the punch of some of his gems from the past and this one becomes a rehash of a few of Sathyan Anthikad’s own earlier movies".

It's like a series of skits put together ... the movie itself would have felt more real, and as adorable as it was meant to be, if it were fresher, deeper and not the kind we've seen a dozen times before.
