For a movie that spends way too much time on the villain, we hardly see any character development or even character at all. We get that the bad guy is an evil ra*ist, but should that require over 50% of the runtime focussing on torture p**n?

Story wise, this is nothing new. Why does every Indian thriller movie make it a point to portray the Doctor as a bad guy lmfao!?

Honestly, the movie could have lost an hour of run-time without changing the overall impact of the final product.

The only scene i preferred in the entire movie is when Nayanthara gets chased around the first time from the metro station to the mall - it was actually well shot and i was waiting in anticipation over what was going to happen next. Possibly the only way this movie felt like an actual thriller.

On the other end of the spectrum, the police interrogation scene is a joke and I don't understand what they were even trying to acheive with that.

The discount Brother (Gautham) was actually an interesting character and I'm glad they gave him something to do the whole time.

I gave it 5/10 stars and I'm not sure whether it deserves more or less. I guess I'm mad at the lack of originality and the obvious lack of passion in the movie. It feels like the creators think the audience is dumb.

Somebody with the right drive and screenplay could turn the same plot + characters into something actually meaningful.
