Reception

The Indian Express wrote, "With a little more care in scripting and editing, Manjila's Adimakal (Slaves) would have aptly ended there, but sometimes, even our best film-makers do not know when and where to stop. There are a few other irrelevant scenes which, if chopped off would help this Malayalam film gain in tempo and appeal."[6]

gollark: I don't think there actually is one component of OpenOS which you can reasonably call a "kernel".

gollark: The EEPROM provides a few things and loads code off a disk, really. Most of the libraries are handled in /boot and stuff in /lib.

gollark: Kernel script? You mean the EEPROM boot thingy?

gollark: Oh, you read it already, oops.
