Calculated misdirection
Laara
– Review
Lawrence files a complaint at the police station that his wife Stella is missing. He continues to pester that cops stating that no action has been taken on his complaint.
In this situation, the police station in Karaikal area receives an information about a woman’s body lying on the beach.
The woman’s body has been mutilated beyond recognition. Her face is so disfigured that it is impossible to identify her, and some parts of her body are damaged.
Following this, the police takes Lawrence asking him to check if it is his wife. But Lawrence says that it is not her wife.
Director Mani Moorthi shows promise in a movie which is based on calculated misdirection.
The director maintains the mystery well enough, though the investigation often feels like a bit too long.
Ashok Kumar has acted well in his role. Even though he has few scenes, he has perfomed well.
Anushreya Rajan has given a good performance as Lara. Bala, S. K. Babu, Dileep Kumar, E.S. Pradeep have also acted well.
RJ Ravin’s cinematography and Raghu Shravan Kumar’s music deliver what a crime thriller needs. Rest of the technical aspects of the movie are passable.
Rating: 3.5/5
