Very intriguing clot. The parallel, story is good too. Totally unexpected. Vivek's acting is good too. Cinematography sucks like hell. Others acting too, not worth watching.
Since past couple of years Tamil cinema has produced some worth watching crime Thriller's like D16,Ratchasan,Managaram,8 thottakal and vellai pokkal easily falls in same category...
Vikek is prominently known as comedy actor but here perfectly nails as High functioning retired cop.
Apart from cast performance and technical aspects (camera work,Bgm) writing is so good (Writers Try their best to avoid usual Tamil cinema cliché ness) Even first act is much about father- son relationship drama,after that film picks up it's pace and turns into a interesting investigate Thriller...
Non - Linear narrative is another highlight of this film.actual events happens in two different timelines,it makes Screenplay less predictable too...

This movie has the most essential features for a thriller.
1. Top down cinematography inline with the lead 's character
2. Parallel unfolding
3. A father/cop who's different from normal ppl
4. Unexpected twist and concealed motive
It's more than enough for a thriller.
I agree actors are new and director is new but still its a good thriller
Not just a usual crime thriller, the movie got a solid history that every thriller subject should have. I wasn't stared watching curiously, but the perfect ruler script got me into its loop. So standard till the end at some scenes i realized so much things haven't been copied from Hollywood and writer really digged well with the pen.
So surprised and honour to have a decent, peculiar film in Tamil cinema industry. The Cast indians+ westerners they nailed it

You may feel a bit dragged in the beginning but the movie picks up pace in the 2nd half leading to unexpected climax
