Quick answers from GoodWatch data.
Probably not: the title analysis rates it 9 of 10 for bleakness and 8 for melancholy, against 2 for hopefulness.
Mostly character-driven: it leans on pathos (9 of 10) and character depth (8 of 10) more than on its plot.
No, it was made in Malayalam, with some Tamil.
