With the entry of abundant young blood into the industry, Kollywood had been witnessing a healthy mix of genres beyond triangular love stories and gang wars. The subject of a detective is hardly touched upon and this one fills the gap perfectly. Nalaya Iyakkunar fame Ramesh debuts with the rising star Ashok Selvan to deliver this suspense thriller.
Vetri (Ashok) a Criminology fresher gets picked by a private detective firm for shadowing and collecting information on select individuals on request of its clients. Known for his observation skills, his professor also recommends him becoming a professional detective. Completing the assignments given in style, his fifth assignment is that of Madhushree (Janani Iyer) where he slips from professional ethics and gets personal with the subject. Vetri discovers that his previous assignment subjects die in freak accidents one after the other. He is now insecure considering Madhu being the probable victim next. When Vetri gets into the details of this chain accidents in pursuit of the cause, he is convinced that they are murders. Who is the spearhead behind all the murders? Why is that only Vetri's assignments are targeted? How does he save Madhu? The answers are revealed in the gripping second half.
Ashok Selvan is definitely the next sensation in the industry after Vijay Sethupathy. He has successfully completed his hatrick after Soodhu Kavvum and Pizza 2. His subtle expressions and soft dialogue deliveries make him fit any elegant role such as this. The screenplay has been drafted to be as candid and and realistic as possible and the debutant director scores over and over on that. While it is easy to get influenced by a few Hollywood flicks and replicate it, the director maintains the originality and is true to the script. Though Janani Iyer comes for a very brief part, she has made her mark as well. Nivas Prasanna has livened the sequences with his scores.
The plot certainly has a few logical glitches. While Vetri is suspected to be the prime cause of the murders, how do the cops let him out just like that on bail without any investigations? When Vetri knows that he has the full back up from the inspector, why doesn't he call him up when he finds the real accused in Hotel Malco or why does he break into the house ? Wouldn't it be much easier with the cop's support? While Vetri avoids having a mobile phone, he carries his friend's for a good 50% of the time and eventually gets tracked by it too... what is the point? On the whole, except for a few loose ends the movie entertains the audience in style for the entire duration.
