– Review

Vijay Kanishka is a computer engineer who lives by the principles of Vallalar and believes that even small life should not be harmed.

One day, a masked man kidnaps the hero’s mother and younger sister. The abductor threatens Vijay and asks him to commit two murders.

Who is that masked man? Why does he ask Vijay to commit the murders? Was he able to save his family? How does police officer Sarathkumar involved in all of this forms the crux of the story.

Directors Sooryakathir Kaakkallar and K Karthikeyan have come up with a different story and have presented it in an unique manner as well.

There are several moments in the movie which brings the audience to the edge of the seats.

However, there are also some dull moments which hinder the flow of the movie.

Vijay Kanishka, son of director Vikraman, shines in the role of an innocent, timid, boy who fights to save his mother and younger sister. Caught between the police and the masked man, he has beautifully portrayed the plight of the character.

While Sarathkumar doesn’t have any action scenes in the first half, it is compensated well in the second half. He has once again delivered a solid performance.

Even though Samuthirakani comes for less time, he plays a role that matches the social views expressed in the film.

Garudan Ram is as usual menacing in his role as a dreaded gangster. Smruthi Venkat and Gautham Menon have done their part as expected.

C. Sathya’s background score is one of the major strengths of the film. Camerawork by K Ramcharan is apt for the theme of the movie.

Rating: 3.8/5
