Theerkadarishi – Review

The movie begins with an anonymous man calling the police control room to warn that a woman staying alone in a particular region of the city is in danger and she could be killed if they don’t act fast.

The cops think it to be a prank call as the caller refuses to identify himself. However, to their horror, they realise that it’s a genuine call as a single woman is found murdered the next day in the same place that the caller mentions.

Soon, the cops receive a second call from the same person and this time he warns of another crime.

However, the police fail to stop this one as well. With the issue being blown up by the media, Deputy Commissioner Ajmal is appointed as the investigating officer.

The anonymous calls continue to happen and so do the crimes. Who is this anonymous caller and was Ajmal able to find him out?

How the anonymous caller is related to the crimes forms the rest of the story. Directed by the duo PG Mohan and LR Sundarapandi, the movie has a refreshingly new plot.

However, the movie could have been executed in a better manner.

The repetitiveness of the phone calls become redundant after a point. The directors could have also paid attention to some of the logical lapses.

The actors in the movie deliver some strong performances. Sriman who plays the officer in charge delivers a commendable performance.

Ajmal as the investigation officer plays the part in a lively manner and comes up with a convincing performance.

Sathyaraj who plays a crucial role scores as usual with his seasoned acting. Laxman’s cinematography is neat and impressive. Music by G Balasubramanian gels well with the theme of the movie.
