Analysis:
Filmmaer duo Pushkar – Gayatri has delivered Vadhandhi with a strong screenplay that keeps the audience interested with each episode.
When the audience think that they have narrowed down on the murderer, they are in for a surprise.
Director Andrew Louis has ensured that the writing is effectively replicated on screen.
Though the pacing of the series seems to be a little slow, it does not affect the interest created by the screenplay.
Casting is one of the major strength of the series. S J Suryah delivers a subdued and calm performance.
It is refreshing to see him in such a role and this can be rated one among his best performances in the recent times.
Laila makes her presence felt with her performance. Sanjana is good in her role as well.
Rest of the cast including Vivek Prasanna, Aruvi Balaji have all delivered what was expected from them.
Simon King’s music suits well with the mood of the series. Saravanan Ramasamy’s camerawork is effective.
Rating: 3.4/5
