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
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

FINALLY !!! A KIND OF FILM I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WAITING FOR IN TAMIL CINEMA ! Truly a mind-twisting movie experience! A dark-thriller! Indeed one of the best dark thrillers in Tamil cinema! The sound mixing and background for this movie is so brilliant. Truly a a genius! Karthick Naren an young director in his early 20s delivers one of the best thrillers made in Tamil cinema. Although you might have no idea where the film is taking you to, no worries, the climax of the movie will leave you in shock. Rahaman the actor of this film totally pulled it off with ease. Its sad to see that not many people can appreciate this master piece, more films like this should come out. Support this kind of films and don't let Tamil cinema rot in the name of masala films. Top notch thriller which you will not regret watching. Its worth every penny of your money! Go watch it! My score - 9.2/10
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.

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
