Memories talk about both protagonist and antagonist having haunting past which led to who they're now today. First half film beautifully depicts Sam alex(Prithviraj) routine life and his past and his first case after hiatus which ends with cleverly executed climax. It has its flaws few loopholes however rest of its department compensates big time. Second half is more of a thriller and it lived upto it's genre. Acting wise Prithvi was top notch excelled in both investigating and emotional roles. Other supporting actors were good too. Music placed perfectly and fits the mood. Bgm was excessive at the same time effective and added required tension throughout. Pace of the film was really good never felt yawning. Cinematography and colour shading they chosen were on par with many branded thrillers. Night chase shot was the highlight which shows the director's great vision and sujith vassudev's caliber. Editing was perfect and had a fairly engaging running time. If you're looking for a engaging thriller then go for it to say the least won't be disappointed. Almost a perfect moody thriller that you can watch alone in evening time with a rainy chilling ambience. My rating:7.6/10

Time travelling is pretty much alien to Indian industry let alone regional cinema. Tamil cinema has succeeded in making worthy time travel movie which is not only interesting but entertaining as well. Even though it's science fiction still it would be better if you don't delve deeper otherwise you'll be deprived from fine entertainer. Cast- Suriya is one of the few tamil actor who could act, fight and dance. He is a perfect package. Samantha has nothing much to do other than be a barbie doll. Saranya playing mother's role which is obvious, her forte. Nithya menon has to look pretty and cute. Other actors have done their job respectively well. Music & bgm- Background score stand out the most. Music were just placed because it's a typical Indian concept. Songs were good but just that it wasn't required. Seems forced to me. Technical- it has technical finesse which is called for and they've pulled it off with elan. Frames captured essence of locales. Overall it's a good afternoon watch if you've spare time. If you're fan of sci-fi genre and have seen plenty of it probably this is not your cake. Since we're not aware of how time machine works so the makers have taken that liberty of the logic and made 24. Just don't go behind the logic and enjoy the feast.

Definitely not my cup of tea but somewhat I liked it however I can't say I enjoyed it thoroughly. Film focuses on youth festival where people from different background participate and compete against each other. If you'd participated in such events or atleast been a spectator for dental years and you've enjoyed it then this film is for you. Probably this could evoke a nostalgia in you wanting to revisit your childhood otherwise film would end up as a boring yarn. Still I would say not to leave movie without watching climax because that's the best part of the film. Climax was totally enlightening and appealing to eyes. All the actors were amateurs barring a few but have done a good job though nothing outstanding. Music and lyrics was the soul of the film and was able to convey many things that film aiming to accomplish. My personal favorite were Kadavathoru thonirapu and Neramayi. Definitely top contender for the year. Regardless of the outcome I still appreciate Abrid shine for coming up with such different concepts after every film. + ve: Music, climax, acting, some scenes were good. -ve: lethargic pace, poetic style narration could not be digestible for everyone. Had the film was told in a more engaging manner then I would've rated it high, well for now 6/10
