    Another Performance Oriented Bala Movie

    I started watching this movie without any expectations and ended up as good cop movie. The story revolves around a minor being raped and became pregnant. The initial suspect was Kaathu played by GV Prakash Kumar and the hot headed Asst. Commissioner takes it personal and investigates the case after discovering that the kid's DNA doesn't match with Kaath's DNA. And uncovers the truth.

    Story was interesting and is a good one. We cannot find the usual Bala in this movie but he directed the movie well with excellent camera work with lots of aerial shots. The background Score did a pretty job to suit the mood and theme.. The maestro Ilaiyaraja was the one behind it.

    Jo aka Jyotika Suriya excelled in her acting, and was top notch as the good tough hot headed cop. Her dialogue delivery, expressions were absolutely brilliant. The girl portrayed by Ivana was amazing in her role and the surprise package was GV Prakash Kumar's performance. He has also proved that he is an actor. Rockline Venkatesh Also delivered some good performance.

    All in whole, the movie is worth watch and i really recommend not to miss this.

    Not your typical Bala film!

    Usually you have to build yourself mentally for watching a Bala film. He makes movies with so passion and realism and with a nerve shattering end that you will take days to recover from the emotional hit. So this is a pleasant surprise with none of the emotional turmoil involved. Still a good watch with some fine acting. I have never liked GV Prakash as an actor and associate him with only C-grade cheap movies but he really pulls a surprisingly great performance.All credit to the director to extract such a performance. Even Jyothika, an actress known for over acting is very restrained.Ivana is the best of all! Overall a pleasant movie with a simple story with a filmy(unconvincing ) end. If you are a hardcore Bala fan please avoid, you will be disappointed. But you are looking for an interesting and light movie slightly better than usual masala movie, please go ahead.

    One of Tamil cinema's finest neo-noir crime thriller!

    Its easier to call it Naachiya' without the letter "R" as it is the name often used for Jyothika's character in this film. The film opens up with utmost intensity as the first few scenes set up the tone and mood of the film. As it is a Bala film, the tone and mood of the film is very Bala like, dark and gritty. All the characters has is well written and has a story to their existence. The story is simple and straight forward, but the interlink of present scenes and past scenes with some serious portion make this simple story feel like a thriller.

    For one thing that is clear, GV Prakash completely transformed himself for this role.The chemistry between him and Ivana was seamless and pretty outstanding. The little romantic portions and comic portions proved to work out well. It showcased great performances as well as acting as a great comic relief in this dark thriller. Hats off to both for pulling off such a brilliant performance and huge credits to GV Prakash as this is the best he has done till date.

    As for Jyothika, this is also one of her finest character's that she has played. Her manly attitude in a cop was extremely well executed and never seen before. Many of her scenes created goosebumps as she injected the audience with fear through her spine chilling interrogation scenes.She portrayed many expressions just by looking which is difficult to pull off. Hats off.

    Illayaraja has proved to be evergreen with the classic he managed to string in this. The music set the tone from the beginning and Raja has proved it time and again that he is the king in his own genre. The gripping parts had you biting and the emotional part had you weeping towards the end. Amazing.

    The technical part of this was excellent from cinematography to editing. Both were great and the editor done a great work putting the scenes together. Bala, the director has not failed to engross his audience is such a simple yet powerful script and to be able to extract such stunning performances from every character on screen is no pin task. This is another great film from Bala!
