A family drama but yet a mainstream gangster epic,Mani Ratnam after a long time has gone back to one of the genres he is known for - the "godfather" gangster epic - family drama that has shades of both It has been a long time since Mani sir released a thriller film since Raavanan. Thrillers are rare In mani sir's film career but this time Man sir nails it.Enjoyed it just as good as his 2010 Film Raavanan, The whole film is told without much gore in a stylishly constructed tapestry of acting performance, cinematography and scene by scene articulation not found in any South Indian film to date. It has a mainstream script with a thriller noir feel . In the south , the way the gang rivalry films are handled seems too ordinary but considering the man behind this film, expect to see some innovation.

One would expect the directors previous masterpieces along the gangster epic genre like Nayakan or Thalapathy reminiscence here but we wont see any references or similarity to any of these films. What we will see here is an updated but still mainstream version of the typical gangster stories which we often had a healthy staple of in south cinema . We also do not see much of the classic Mani style stand out- lighting from his previous films. Instead the sheer acting performance, camerawork , set design and the magic chemistry between the actors drive the entire film .Engrossing and well worth watching.
