    Disappointing & Bland attempt

    It was hyped a lot but the end product was mediocre one.

    Acting of Aarav and other supporting actors were too artificial especially the way Aarav speaks throughout the movie. There is no twists or turns, all were pretty much predictable and most importantly boring.

    The fight scene in the climax was draggy and I can see other audiences got fed up and start scrolling their mobile phones during the second half 😬

    I think Tamil cinema should avoid making these type of typical "Corporate Mafia" concept movies, it's better to take a documentary for that than using this industry.

    In Summary: The Tamil directors should avoid taking farmer's issue and Corporate issues as their stories if they can't give something different and gripping for the audience.

    Good but slow, poorly edited

    Went to watch this for the director as his style of presentation has been good so far in all his previous attempts but this one lagged in so many areas.

    The film's cat & mouse based screenplay is good enough to keep you engaged but doesn't entertain as it moves in a dead slow pace.

    The plot/story of the film also seems to be kinda unique with a different kinda corporate villan-ism but a wasted opportunity mainly due to poor music/bgm and worst editing, this is one of those films which got spoiled due to poor editing.

    The protagonist's casual act did work very well, its probably his best, other actors did just fine but nothing note worthy except the main antagonists' role which drove us through the entire thing till the very end.

    The final touch of Bruce Lee in the climax was still good even after the same concept being touched upon by many films in the past.

    Overall, its a decently made flick that deserve a one-time watch for film fanatics.

    Comrades against the Corporates

    Maghizh Thirumeni once again proved that his scripts are very unique and he is one of the most underrated flim director's of Tamil Industry.

    He has given opportunities for many young actors, cinematographer is also new.

    Kudos to the stunt choreographers, They have shown the real possible fight sequences not like the kind of impossible sequences which usually d done masala movie makers.

    Violent villian who is doing the pathological killings. You can feel the brutality of killings but with very less blood showers.

    All those comrade kind of characters are well written with the good screen presence.

    All in all a good thriller with the brilliant whistle blowing concept.

    Well done team Kudos... A Must Watch.

    Brilliant attempt

    Movie was too good. I don't know why people are giving bad reviews. Udayanithi was simple and acted well in this movie. As a villian character Aarav did his role well and good. Heroine had a equal space with hero. Technically should have been improved otherwise movie was top notch.

    Director engaged audience from the beginning to end of the movie. I should talk about the climax. Not like the usual movies, hero accepted that he can't fight with 8 people and win. I don't want spoil that climax fight and I wish everyone must watch the movie.

    I wish other directors also should write the script to engage the audience for the whole movie.

    Terrific narration!!!

    Its very rare to witness a realistic fight scene in a hero vs villain genre movie. But, this one has and also had a gripping narration. This is the perfect movie I have seen where the protagonist has played a perfectly anonymous guy on a mission. He is equally scared about his reveal and how it will affect his kith and kins.

    The cuts to the flashback are right on the money. The last part gets flat as one is not able to perceive Udhayanidhi Stalin in a Taekwondo action avatar. This movie could have worked better had the casting been different.

    Magizh Thirumeni should be on the leagues of Lokesh Kanagaraj for his scripts and execution. Hope he finds his place soon!! Must watch!!
