Okie... You are not at fault if you could not find such movie released recently and came into OTT also... honestly I liked this thriller movie ... Compared to fan boy nonsense movies, this movie had a very interesting decent storyline and there was nothing wrong about the major part of movie screenplay... The director knew songs would be nuisance and did not make the mistake of including songs or duets... Also appreciable movie length to make it interetsing... Most of the characters were made suspicious making the movie interesting.... Had necessary twists also..There is something against SIBIRAJ in the industry as his movies are not taken seriously and he is not taken seriously as an actor...he has really put his hardwork and done a very decent job... He has matured surely as an actor from his student no.1 days.... The movie's fault of not making it to big league could be few reasons, very amateurish ending , very very weak villain who has nothing but bad face, no star power actors - infact most of them are unknown except hero and his police aide, pulling down screenplay in important points of the movie, Hurried unlocking the twists though logical but audience may be unclear... The above can be corrected in directors next movie but for that, this movie of his should be appreciated and he should be encouraged ....

The movie is so good it was full of suspense. The second half was so thrilling to find out the killer and the murderers. The actors role fitted perfectly to the storyline. No disturbances was in this movie such as romantic and love. This movie is full of mysteries to find out the criminals. The bgm and background sound was so good. The screenplay, bgm, editing all deserves more. All those cuts in the movie was perfectly matched and never let the audience find out the criminals. Kollywood actors did their best part. Even some silly jokes were in the movie. Some malaysian actors also have done their best part in this movie( Uthaya Raaga). The climax was so good that we cant even know the murderer till they expose.

Ten Hours delivers a compelling thriller with strong direction, great cinematography, and excellent color toning. The plot is tight and keeps you hooked with its mystery, maintaining suspense until the very end without revealing the culprit too early-a major plus for fans of the genre. However, like many Tamil films, the main character is heavily layered with cultural clichés, which sometimes distract from the core narrative. Also, when the truth is finally revealed, it over-explains every detail, leaving little for the audience to ponder. A well-crafted film overall, but it could've been more powerful with some subtlety in the climax.
