        A movie which had great potential ruined itself by taking a drastic U-Turn

        Story and Screenplay: It set up the movie well and had great potential. but all of that wasted and the movie ruined itself during the second half. The entire screenplay is to convey a message in a powerful and self introspective way. But the way it messed with a genre after setting up to be a different genre ruined the entire movie.

        Acting: The acting was below par in some areas due to the fact as it seemed they tried to fake the realism and it turned out to faker than fake

        Background:Score: The music was not even noticeable as it had nothing new or unique. it didn't even sync with some scenes.

        Conclusion: A movie which changed its direction mid way after it displayed lot of potential. during the first half.

        Gripping Screenplay

        Based on a simple idea of breaking a small traffic rule. Screenplay, bgm, characters were just fabulous, but still it feels like the story could've been more stronger.

        Full lesson.

        A thrilling experience with emotional roller coaster feel and super strong message conveyed in a hard hitting manner.

        The theme of the film is termed as THE KARMA!

        Racy!

        The movie starts off slow and accelerates in a great speed and let's us walk out for interval with so many confusions in mind. The second half unveils the suspense in an interesting manner. The movie is full of twists and turns even till the climax, you may guess a very few if you are a frequent thriller watcher. Actors have done their role perfectly, we could feel Aadhi as a familiar character because his character in this movie reminds of his character on Eeram. Samantha Akkineni has done a wonderful job with the character, and has showed so much emotions. Her makeover elevates her character. Cinematography is great through out the movie. No songs in the movie is a great plus because it would have been a speed breaker in the racy ride. Over all this movie is worth watching. Enjoy the magic in theatres.

        It was all good until they took a U-turn

        The story starts just as we expect from an Indian film(of any language ). Rachna and Aditya loves each other. But their story is way better than usual tamil/telugu films. And I actually liked it. Then rachna visits Shankar's flat for an interview. Shankar is found dead the same day and police calls her for enquiry. Then they find something schoking(I won't revealed it). At that point, film was at top, it could have gone anywhere. Sadly after interval, it went only down hill.

        It was so interesting plot. But in the end, turns out to be a ghost/spirit story. This is the problem with Indian supernatural thrillers, they can't have a story without spirits in it. Second half was predictable. There's no chills and thrill. Also, the idea to add horror element failed.

        If I am to divide the film into two parts, I would call the first half great and second half a below average one.
