100 is an ambitious cop film with a not-so-bad story and almost convincing protagonist, but is marred by a far-stretched screenplay. Sathya (Atharvaa) dreams of becoming a stern cop, and is awaiting the confirmation letter from the department. However, his happiness is short-lived as he gets posted in the control room. How he interacts with people and solves their issues one by one takes the story forward.
The latter half is comparatively more engaging, thanks to the conflict between the protagonist and the antagonist, and some interestingly written scenes. But you feel exhausted as the story progresses.
Atharvaa is impressive in come scenes and a few one-liners of Yogi Babu evoke laughter. Radha Ravi is apt in the role of a senior cop, while Hansika makes a mysterious blink-and-miss appearance.
The action scenes are well choreographed and a few sequences like the abduction in a train and the return of a dead girl are well staged. The reveal of the villains one by one is also well written. The action scenes are okayish but the music is unnecessarily loud in many scenes. Though a slew of relevant topics like women trafficking, parenting, use of drugs, etc, have been included in the movie, a tight screenplay would have helped the film hit the right emotional chords.
