Directed by Vivek Aryan, Ormayil Oru Shishiram is a coming of age romance with Deepak Parambol and debutant Anaswara Ponnambath in the lead. The film is scripted by CG Sivaprasad and Appu Sreenivas Nair based on the story by Vishnu Raj NR.

Ormayil Oru Shishiram is the story of Nithin and Varsha, and their plus two days.How will their relationship progress and where will their destinies take them? The movie tries to explore the same through a variety of interesting characters, twists and turns.
A well-crafted cinematography gives us a visual treat in Ormayil Oru Shishiram. Deepak Parambol is a natural as usual. He sheds his 'angry-young man' aura and brings in an innocence and freshness to his portrayal of Nithin. Anaswara Ponnambath's Varsha is instantly adorable because of the genuineness she brings into the character. Mala Parvathy as Nithin's mother is a delight. The dexterity with which she acts as the bridge between two warring entities, Nithin and his father, is hilarious because it is relatable. And that is exactly what makes Ormayil Oru Shishiram a delightful watch. That it evoked nostalgia and is relatable as being genuinely real is what makes the film a delight to watch.
