More About This Film
The Worst He Can Say Is. is a short Malayalam romantic comedy about two friends, Anand and Devan, catching up at a café when Anand unexpectedly spots a woman from his college past. Her appearance brings back the memory of an awkward romantic confession that Anand completely mishandled.
