Our verdict
Aasha pairs Urvashi and Joju George as two volatile personalities clashing after a minor road accident, with Safar Sanal directing a tense Malayalam thriller-drama. At 127 minutes, it stays focused on the personal conflict between Aasha and Jeemon rather than broad spectacle. If you enjoy character-driven confrontations, this one is worth a look.
