Featured reviews
The only good thing about this movie is that they made a superstar act in a normal movie with zero fan service.
Having said that, the movie is boring, flat, and tests your patience. At least the first half is bearable as it had some hope and a mystery left. The real struggle starts after the intermission. Halfway through the second half, you understand it's a misfire. They could have easily made this movie at least half as interesting as Samar (2013) by having some decent redemption in the second half, but they did not.
Also, the makers misled the audience by the teaser/trailer itself. Anirudh's hyped BGM has no sync with the actual movie. Not sure whose idea was to reveal the antagonists in the teaser/trailer itself, especially when the movie itself has a wafer-thin plot line.
I can go on and on about the mishaps.
Having said that, it's not completely bad like 'Kanguva' or 'Indian 2'. It's a bit more bearable, if that counts.

As a fan, my opinion is, a decent watch with good cinematography and good performances. Especially AK has given his best. Please don't go by reading or watching all reviews. People form different opinions based on their unique experiences,
If you are a movie lover just try it.
The movie's pacing is slow in the first half.
It takes a while for the first half to get going.
The second half picks up the pace considerably. The story accelerates in the latter half. The pacing shifts into high gear during the second half. The film's tempo quickens noticeably after the midpoint. Things move much faster in the second half. Emotional scenes are well made.

The film begins with a captivating first half hour that sets the stage well for a promising ride.
I was eager to witness more romantic elements unfold, along with a deeper exploration of the couple's marriage and their strained relationship.
Although I anticipated that it would soon shift into a rescue thriller, and indeed it did.
Unfortunately, from thereon the writing became increasingly messy, spiraling into chaos with each passing second.
Up until the intermission, it managed to keep my interest, but after that, the plot became overly convoluted, resorting to the clichés of typical Tamil mainstream cinema. As for the climax, it's best left unmentioned as it lost all coherence by that point.

Movie actually doesnt has any hooked intro scenes. Even title scene doesnt has the hook to yell. But.... it is completely alri8. The whole movie is slow paced. Im okay with slow paced screenplay. If u loved the goat breaking bad, u wont even point the slow pace as a issue. I dunno maybe i might try new theatres, the theatre promoted it as 4k rgb, the brightness isnt upto the mark. It was gk poonga, manampathy,kancheepuram. The 2nd show actually, there wasnt any wopping crowd. Barely half filled. Whats wondering is the ticket price, 150rs.
The film shows quality, a perfect example for how a fine film should be. The twists actually worked well, the writing of tight situations are worked very well. The feel of lost, actually felt by us. The divorce convincing dialogues are deep and convinced well. There were flashbacks, it was okey, but yet not much detailed. So dialogues fills the gaps. The music wasnt that much notable, but works well with the movie. The music does its part in this art form.
Whats not okay is the predictable story, there will be a scene which shows regina cassandra's flashback. It actually spoiled the engagement. It might be placed at the end of the film(atleast her psychopath behaviour).
In some scenes the story is stretched as per the directors idea, not convincing tbh.
Whats most wierder in this film is the subtitle colour, green. Whose idea is that ?
The second half has the fight sequences, which was intense. The play of two masterminds is barely rememberable in the screen play.
The editing, placing might changed the film's screenplay to make it as a cult film. The bit predictable, stretched story becomes a villain for this movie.
So the movie as a movie fanatic, is worth a watch as a whole package.
But questionable for benchmark lvl box office hits, since it barely satisfies general audience.

This movie is an official remake of the Hollywood film Breakdown, starring Ajith Kumar, Action King Arjun, Trisha, with music by Rockstar Anirudh, and directed by Magizh Thirumeni.
I was really impressed by the director because he turned a big mass hero into a subtle character. There are no big action scenes or punch dialogues, but the hero looks very classy. Honestly, it's a great effort to change a mass hero into an ordinary man, and it worked well. The director took time to set up the story and slowly build it. He also made sure to introduce every important character, and it turned out great. The cinematography was a highlight of the movie; it brought the film to life. Anirudh's music took the movie to another level, especially the last 20 minutes, which were amazing.
However, there are a few flaws. The first one is that after watching the movie, I couldn't remember the story. It's a good film, but the story feels a bit weak. They took an idea and just built the screenplay around it. Also, the movie isn't very fast-paced; some people might find it boring, but I didn't feel that way.
Apart from that, I liked the film and think it's something you can watch with your family.
