– Review

The film centers around Arjun (Kalaiyarasan) and Meera (Priyalaya), an influencer couple who have built a successful life on YouTube. 

When their channel is suddenly deactivated, they face financial ruin. 

To recover, they enter a dangerous reality game show proposed by a mysterious stranger named “Mask”. 

The film attempts to explore themes of social media’s impact, human greed, and the lengths people will go for money and fame.

Directed by Sivaraj N, the premise of a social media-centric thriller is timely. The film’s intriguing and relevant premise about the perils of social media and the dark side of online fame is laudable. However, the lack of logic, weak writing, and inconsistent narrative flow are major setbacks of the movie.

Kalaiyarasan and Priyalaya have done a decent job with the material they were given. 

They are convincing in their roles, but the script often fails to support their efforts, making their emotionally charged moments feel hollow. Sam C.S.’s background score tries hard to inject tension. 

Cinematography by Prveen Balu is decent, especially given that much of the film is set within a single house. Rest of the technical aspects of the movie are passable. 

Rating: 3.5/5
