Arun Vijay excels as a police officer. Be it body language, dialogue delivery or mannerisms, he is simply at it. Mahima is beautiful and delivers a good performance. The likes of Thambi Ramaiah and Abhinaya score well.
While Vishal Chandrasekar deserves pat for spine chilling background score, which is a must for movies of such genre, Bhaskaran’s cinematography needs a special mention.
There are few minus points, but they can be overlooked. For, Kuttram 23 is a racy thriller with so many twists and turns. If you love watching crime stories, you should not miss this one.
