The film’s screenplay takes on a prophetic tone, as it parallels a real-life fire that occurred during its production, which closely mirrors a scene in the film. While the focus on delivering a crucial environmental message is commendable, it sometimes overshadows the film’s storytelling, giving it a docu-drama feel rather than a commercial appeal.

Kalabhavan Shajon delivers a powerful performance as Vikraman, showcasing his versatility beyond his comedic roles. Letha Sunil complements his performance effectively. Despite its limitations in storytelling and technical aspects, Ithuvare stands out for its earnest attempt to raise awareness about an important issue, making it a film worth watching for its social relevance.
