Both the families wait for a chance to seek their revenge on each other. How Jai gets involved in this gang war, did he and Meenakshi get married, What is Jai’s actual background forms the rest of the story.
Analysis:
Tamil cinema is not new for revenge dramas set in rural areas, director Susienthiran has tried to give this a twist and deliver it in his style. Jai fits the character perfectly.
He is calm, energetic and performs well in the action sequences. Both the heroines Meenakshi and Akansha get equal importance.
There are scenes that give prominence to the female leads.
Rest of the supporting cast including Harish Uthaman, Jayaprakash, Kaali Venkat, Bala Saravanan, Sarath and Aruldoss have all done their part well.
Jai makes his debut as music director and is impressive as well. Velraj’s cinematography is one of the biggest strengths of the movie.
Rating: 3.5/5
