8/10
A pat on the back for the whole team
18 November 2018
I expected this to be a typical gunda/smuggling movie but was grossly mistaken. An engaging thriller, with edge of the seat moments made an interesting watch.

I have always held a good opinion about Vidharth. Having watched Myna and Kutrame thandanai, I view him as an underrated actor with potential. In 'Kurangu Bommai' he fits into the character to a tee.

The movie boasts of excellent screenplay. I can feel the expertise of a short film director throughout, which allures the cinematic viewing pleasure. A well-made short film gets the message straight with crisp technical work, avoiding dragging the plot with unnecessary bgm and songs. It felt good to watch such an intellectual film after a long time.

A good lot of acting has been cast, with no underperformers. Each character has been given adequate weightage and screen time which is complimentary. Actor Elangovan of Abiyum Naanum fame has taken a new avatar, and has squeezed in all his acting skills. No character surpasses any other in terms of performance, even veteran yesteryear master director Bharathiraja has put up a humble show, which is appealing and touching. A big hats off to the team!
