The plot was just usual like other 100 Tamil films in the same genre but the screenplay was written nicely which keeps us somewhat engaged as it reveals stuff sprinkled over the course of the film and the final reveal of the main character was good as well, although it was expected, still it stands to surprise us at least in a slighter way if you're watching the film w/o guessing anything but just going with what the film presents.

Seeing Prabhu deva in this role was anew but it was the usual characterisation played by many others as well and there were so specific touches of him as such that makes it interesting to watch & all, the surprising fact is that there were almost no dance sequences at all aka his skill not portrayed at all and totally wasted.

The heroine of the film does nothing and comes on screen as a showcase piece to show that the film has got a female in a good light as well.

Overall, the plot of the film being very old doesn't do justice but the decent screenplay makes it a one-time watch for sure.

If you want a modernised version of 80's or 90's cop story, and if you watch without using logic, then the movie will be excellent for you. Otherwise, don't waste time.

The production, direction and even the music is all worst.

And please hire a story writter. Many of the scenes had glitch for an instance where the police officer has phone in his hand and next shot he doesn't. I can list many but try to get atleast the shots right or edit it out.

Very old school cinema style investigation, murder> actor intro🤣🙏> investigation>fight> injury>hospital> centiments > very poor twist , please have a look to Malayalam industry they are going with trend, we need those kind of movies.

Prabudev kind of actor should not have acted in these kind of movies.

A decent story. Poor camera work and poor music lets it down. Otherwise taken reasonably well. Slick. Not too much of waste scenes.

Also has some loose ends.

I wish it was more well thought of!
