Meanwhile, Daali (Daali Dhananjay), a feared gangster, makes life difficult for many. The film centers on the conflict between Daali and Salim, featuring numerous twists and turns.

Vijay Antony delivers a decent portrayal of the protagonist, capturing his internal conflicts throughout the film. Other actors also contribute significantly to the story, adding layers to the central narrative.

The screenplay weaves together various subplots, some are effective and some are not. The cinematography captures the essence of the setting and the mood of the film, enhancing the storytelling. The music complements the narrative well.
