Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru

It has all the ingredients of a perfect murder mysteries. Right from the keeping the viewers engaged through multiple perspectives of how the murder could have happened to increasing the pace and twists till the climax, it is screen play at its best.

To choose new faces and to go without songs, i think the director deserves a special mention. This movie is an experience you will love. You will feel that you are a part of the investigation and that is where the director scores.

You know a movie is brilliant if the entire audience applauds when the credits starts rolling. Kudos to the entire team to have scripted such a price of work. 10/10

After the trailer impressed quiet a number of people, I had an impression that this will be yet another movie which fools around with its trailer. Karthik Naren proved me wrong.

Never seen such a dark crime thriller in Thamizh Cinema. I must say, no one expected such a young lad to perform this much.

The cinematic dark tone, grippy BGM, Screenplay treatment, Almost perfect Casting, makes this a must watch movie.

Although this is not a perfect movie, having its own loopholes, it still stands out from the crowd.

Thamizh Cinema is indeed evolving.

Written and Directed by debut Karthick Narain. With his 2 short films experience, stepped into feature film by taking a crime thriller as plot.

A crime case investigation by a police officer and the way he get into the target along with multiple views from different persons involved is D16.

A complete investigative mystery thriller generation where it start the ride from the very beginning without spending much on any ordinary stuffs. Success of a engaging investigation lies on the clue which come across for the next chain of scenes, even a dialogue from the movie says this as few clues of what we intend to know will come to us on its own. When we think of from where to start next, there comes a scene to give the route.

Rahman, who do only limited unique character back in for the role where he perfectly fit in and his subtle acting apt for the investigation. Other cast, though they travel throughout, they neatly perform what they expected from them.

As there is no songs in this movie, BGM plays the high scope for music director and it truly justified in the movie with right tone. Camera and lighting are well managed as most of the scenes happens at night where the subject shine in dark.

Length of the movie is another plus where cuts are rightly placed and the engagement didn't take any downside till end.

For a debutant director, the efforts and smartness spent on writing is truly evident while watching this mystery. Experimental in terms of multiple views of the crime scene and intelligent enough when the knot unfolds which gives a different view.

The summary tells the whole story, the movie is very gripping, you have to be very attentive to catch every minute detail right from start the movie is well made, following points have caught my attention

1. Masked killer (Makes you want to know who is inside), great introduction

2. Rahman rubbing the eyes, which is shown as graphic in introduction. 3. Character of gautham is well made. 4. Up to the climax the killer is given great importance, but the real motive behind the story is ordinary and that intricate details are also well woven in between the plot to minute detail. 5. Ultimately our protagonist falls victim to a fate which he knows far later, but cant much help.

I cant believe a debutant director has made this movie. Tamil cinema has gone to a new level, i would rate this movie above Thani Oruvan and 24.

Surprising twist till last frame.

One of the excellent role portrayed by Rahman

Director karthick Naren is one to be taken very seriously

Very good attempt by the upcoming director Karthik. Right from the first scene movie is engaging.Rahman as a police officer has done a great job. No heroism just class. Unusual crime thriller which we don't get to see much in Indian / Tamil cinema. Loved the reference to Mario game of 90s and the magic brick dialogue. Rahman does have a faint Malayalam Accent during the voice over rendering. Very good editing and cinematography. Conclusion in climax doesn't leave much Questions in mind and covers almost all left over bits. All actors have done justice to their roles. I would recommend all to watch this movie as it would be one of the must watch thrillers in tamil history
