This isn't a great film, but thankfully, it's not a total disaster either. While one might expect a heavy dose of cringe, it turns out to be more restrained than anticipated. At its core, the story is simple, with a hint of emotional depth-but the straightforward, TV-serial style treatment makes it feel a bit dull and predictable.

Kireeti impresses with his dance moves, though his acting still leaves room for growth.

Sree Leela never quite disappears into her characters-on screen, she often feels more like herself, whether she's in a film, at a public event, or just being her off-screen self.

Genelia is given a well-written role, but given her familiar range, it doesn't come as a surprise.

The music and cinematography are serviceable-not extraordinary, but they carry a polished, big-budget feel. The production values are definitely on the richer side, which gives the film a more refined look even if the content doesn't fully match.

All in all, a below-average film that plays it safe-watchable for some, skippable for many.

The plot and characters definitely had potential, but sadly, that's where it stops. The story doesn't develop well, and there's no real connection to the conflict-it just feels flat. The screenplay is stuck in the past with outdated style, no proper flow, and a good dose of clichés. At times, it's not just boring-it's mildly annoying. The direction, too, feels like it's from another decade.

Laya and a few of the female actors give solid performances, but the child artist doesn't really land it. Nithin is decent in the action scenes, but when it comes to acting-especially emotional moments-it doesn't quite work. The rest of the male cast is just okay.

Cinematography is fine, nothing special. Music doesn't help much either. Production values are decent, but not enough to save the film.

The plot sounds decent on paper-serial deaths in a village and an investigation by the protagonist. But sadly, that's where the excitement ends. The screenplay and narration are painfully dull, and the so-called climax twist is so silly, it might just make you laugh out loud-for the wrong reasons.

Production values? Let's just say they went full budget-saver mode. The acting across the board feels like a throwback to outdated TV serials-full of overacting, awkward pauses, and dramatic stares.

The music doesn't help either-it's bad and makes things worse. The direction? Way too amateur, like a film school project that got out of hand.
