Seven-line Review: Writer/director Rathna Kumar toys with the concept of freedom of expression (for women) in this Amala Paul starrer. It's safe to say that his efforts are fruitful to an extent, especially from a storytelling perspective. While several scenes in the first half merely contribute to establishing one-note side characters and make negligible progress storywise, the second half offers great thrills. Cinematography by Vijay Karthik Kannan is superb. His choice of angles around a nude Kamini (Amala) is never for once too revealing or sexually suggestive. The final twist, or as they say, 'the big reveal' (with a backstory of its own), did not disappoint though not the most logical one. After Meyadha Maan and Aadai, I feel like Rathna Kumar has plenty more interesting stories (and ideas) up his sleeve.

The movie claims to be feminist but it tells women what they should do. The reason is an act of defiance 200 years ago.
The prologue of Nangeli and the breast tax system does not layout the path to the movie. It's thrown at the movie's plot hoping it will stick. But the way the movie unravels it's an edge of the seat thriller(with probable plot holes), which is all very enjoyable! I was almost convinced of a sinister finale. Instead it is very jarring, preachy and cold. A lot of themes are pointed at, hoping something will make sense. Nothing does!
All of the characters' are all maxing out on one of their stats leaving them to be caricatures. I will say that the film beautifully captured the idea of being nude without having to drop jaws from the contemporary modest Indian. It is definitely interesting if one observes the "nudity" that is shown. It does beg the question of what is acceptable or not and why?

Nothing more than a regular tamil film.
there is a message for someone , but that's not expressed deeply.

I always see a film as a film. But this film made a huge impact on me and I couldn't stop myself from writing a review . First of all hatsoff to director who conceived this idea. Nudity is an art. For the first time I am seeing a Indian film which showed women skin in a right way. Tripping scenes, Hilarious love proposal scene, Climax revealing scenes are my favorites. A girl rash driving a bike, smoking, using foul words are a rarity in Tamil films. In this film it is not glorified and done with conviction.
Huge applause to Cinematogapher for pulling off nude scenes with a class. Amala Paul is great in this film. Her eyes, lips, hair, body everything on song. she deserved to get better roles at least from now on. This film is empowering to every individual. I am Sold

A bold attempt by the actress but it'd be surprising if her career moves forward just like it is now for her, let's see.
The Although the movie had gripping scenes keeping the audience engaged, the climax didn't do justice and looked more like having suppressed the whole plot as the backstory wasn't strong enough to hold everything that happened accountably.
A stupid movie. the trailers made it seem like it was going to be some social commentary on the country's long-standing violence against women problem. Instead it was a horrible, incomprehensible mesh of random themes. the main character is extremely annoying, the side characters are 1 dimensional and dull. It was going for such a pandering and wide message that fell flat on its face. the plot-holes are way too much to count and it required way too many coincidences to happen. this movie was frustrating to watch and made me exclaim "WHAT!" every 5 seconds.

The Major Advantage of the Movie is Cinematography! The Story line with Social message is Good. It makes you understand Faminism is Stupidism! At Climax There is No need for The revenger to ask sorry to AmalaPaul, They were trying to make the heroin segment strong!
Hates off to the cinematographer!

There is no story in the movie at all. They have tried to deliver a social message. But is has been done in a worst manner. If you like
to watch movies which are not worth a shot, you can give this a try.
Well it was really unexpected from a director to present a Survival cum Psychological Thriller with tinches of Dark Comedy too, which actually gave a social message of how so called simple and silly pranks can take dark and bizzare turn. The story itself keeps changing its genre with its brilliant execution, like in the first half it moreover appeared as a Survival Drama but later on it ended up moreover as a Psychological Thriller with tit-bits of Dark Comedy elements too. The performances were really really awesome, especially Amala Paul with a complete showstelling performance. And the writer too should be appreciated for presenting such a script. I would highly highly recommend this movie. Do give it a watch.
The film is about a women who dares to take up challenges and bet. Amala Paul in the lead role truly deserves an applause. Vijay Karthik's cinematography was very responsible and perfect in the 40 mins which was the curious plot in the movie. Do watch the movie for the attempt given to a women centric film.
I liked the movie and felt satisfied.

Watched the movie to see the hype of amalapaul's brave no string attached acting.Movie started with unwanted scenes which got connected in climax.Movie focuses more on idiotic prank games which are made by TV channels and its negative impacts.Nude scenes were unnecessary and could have been much better if not included in the movie.The climax is worth watching.Just a mix of okay and good.If you feel free you can watch or you can skip choice is yours.
Cinematography is worth praising for.He had done an excellent job.

Such a dull and poor storyline. Could have done way more better than that. That ending which reveals the reasons behind all those suffering was just so stupid. I got to watch the movie only because of the traile. But what is this!? Amala did no acting but played naked over the full movie. A great disappointmen!

I randomly searched for a film last weekend in prime. To be honest started watching this for its nudity. But right from the 1st frame glued to the screen. Infact i totally forgot the nudity in the film half way through. Be it the visuals, performance,music, editing and last but not least writing. Everything is top notch. It spoke about much relevant and need issue towards the climax and Third act packs the punch with a positive end. This film is kickass. Wondering why the rating is low. I think lot of misinterpretation happened with the viewers bcoz of feminist angle. Kamini is a unforgettable character and to me she is not a feminist. Love you .
