1. Deliberate introduction of regional language (Malayalam) in addition to the dialogues in Sanskrit and Prākṛt,  
2. interpretative method of performance — piecing out each and every word by the \*cākyār\* and enacting it, instead of cumulative and integrated performance,  
3. the interference of \*vidūṣaka\*, his unnecessary presence on the stage continuously for hours and several days,  
4. addition of dances,  
5. one actor performing many roles in violation to the intention of the dramatist,  
6. social criticism by the \*cākyārs\* — humiliation of the brahmaṇas, and  
7. reconstruction of the play by the way of creating a sub text.
