Analysis:
Direcor Ahmed has tried to present the movie as a complete thriller. The violence in the movie is depicted in a raw manner.
The cat and mouse game in the first half in interesting and the momentum is maintained in the second half as well.
Jayam Ravi and Rahul Bose has delivered their best in the respective roles. Jayam Ravi fits the role of a ruthless cop.
The body language of Rahul Bose instills fear among the audience. The last few minutes are completely owned by Kishan Das.
Rest of the cast including Nayantara, Charlie, Bugs, Ashish Vidhyarthi have all done their part well. Yuvan Shankar Raja’s BGM adds more intensity to the scenes.
Camerawork by Vedantam is effective. REst of the technical aspects are passable.
Rating: 3.2/5
