First film in the world with SINGLE SHOT NON LINEAR script. Creator PARTHIEBAN excelled the script with strong cast and crew. Movie started with BTS which shows the hard-work, dedication and intensity of the cast and crew. Anyway The long dedicated journey brings SUCCESS to the creator.
NON-LINEAR narration, single shot, AR rahman musical added advantage for this movie. Yet another art given by PARTHIEBAN.

Like his previous oththa seruppu film, IN had great story to be shot as a proper live action film. It now has great staging and blocking, no doubt. But, it looked like theatrical drama. With Parthiban's sense of direction and shot conception, this film would have won real awards instead of 'world's first..' 'india's first..' etc. And VFX cg could have been better..
This is a fantastic experimental attempt at storytelling with a top-notch technical team. The plot is the catharsis of the protagonist as he recollects his life events. But, you are not able to connect with the character for it seems rushed and the screenplay just looks - like one bad event after another. The narrator describes even the good deeds he faced with a chain of bad events that it leads to. And, suddenly the protagonist redeems and it did not work. It's a great emotional story only deterred by its unique way of storytelling. But that's the intention - the making effort takes center stage here rather than the content. Do watch if you like experimental movies!!
Although many claimed that this film isn't the first non-linear narration destroying all its marketing effort to make it one, that whole discussion stopped abruptly and the film didn't seem to gain any awards.
Parthiban is a man who likes stealing the show from others and scoring in any place wherever he is and that's exactly the problem all his films have, we always get to see the narration from his perspective only and that sometimes feels so monotonous and so even if the film was made well, it just doesn't hold you in any way.
This is probably the first film where the entire world was shocked to know that the whole 1st part was just the making of this film as it portrays all the difficulties that they faced while. Making the entire film in a single shot, this might be a monumental film in that case, but the content was so dark and heavy, plus the performances looked so artificial and we just couldn't connect with the film especially watching the 2nd part after having watched the 1st part, so that's precisely my advice to you, if you haven't watched and are planning to watch it, watch it in reverse: watch 2nd half first and 1st half, at last, this way you might like the film also.
This film is definitely a different try with a humungous effort from the entire crew, these kinda films could only be made by people who're so much passionate about cinema like kamal & Partiban, idt, anybody else would fit that bill in Tamil cinema.

What they have tried is something different and we have not watched a movie like that in a single shot. But the story and the screenplay make us bored and irritated at many times while watching the movie. To be honest Watch the movie only for the experience. Story and content wise movie is utter nonsense!
