“Vallaan” Movie Review

Sundar C, the renowned writer and director, takes a bold step into new territory by playing the lead role in this gripping crime thriller. Following the success of Madha Gaja Raja, Sundar C proves his versatility by delivering a compelling performance as a suspended cop caught in the whirlwind of a high-stakes murder investigation.
