They have fallen out of love and are heading towards an amicable divorce. During their last trip, their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere in Azerbaijan.

They meet truck drivers Regina Cassandra and Arjun Sarja, who offer a ride to Trisha to a nearby cafe. 

However, when Ajith reaches the cafe, he is shocked to find Trisha missing. The rest of the film follows Ajith’s tryst in searching for his missing wife.

Directed by Magizh Thirumeni, the movie follows a simple storyline of a husband searching for his missing wife, thereby uncovering dark truths about a major crime racket. 

The narrative takes a linear approach, and Magizh makes it interesting with some twists towards the interval. 

While the first half is brilliant, the second half of the film lags with some sequences.

‘Vidaamuyarchi’ is an Ajith Kumar show all the way. His performance as Arjun is perfect and also brings his real-life persona to the big screen. He has gone out of his way to play this role and should be appreciated for sticking to his character.

Seeing Ajith Kumar and Arjun Sarja together brings back Mankatha vibes. Arjun has a meaty role, which he pulls off convincingly without much effort. 

Trisha has essayed her role as Kayal to a T. Regina Cassandra is too good as the grey-shaded character. Though she goes missing from the film in between, she simply shines whenever she is on the screen. Arav gets a short-lived role but creates the impact needed.

The film boasts brilliant cinematography by Om Prakash and a background score by Anirudh Ravichander which compliments the movie well.

Rating: 4/5
