A promising start, a disappointing finish
14 March 2022
Similar to many movies of Surya the movie revolves around sending social message to the people and make the society a better place to live.

It is a very noble cause however the movie is supposed to address the problem and give the audience better solution on how they can overcome the fears; what happens to the culprits. But what it does is beats around the problem again and again without a solution or without even suggesting what could be done for a better society improvement.

That is one part of the problem with the movie, the other problem is unwanted sentiments and unwanted fight sequences and the screenplay is isn't just gripping enough to make you committed to the movie.

The premise is really good, the intro is very well made and the characters really do come together as a team and by the end of first half you get an actual sense of where this movie is headed and which is to to kill the evil element and bring peace and harmony to humanity.

But the second half the movie really disappoints, after the characters come out of the light and what is actually happening to them what are the problems they face in the society and how do they get into these situations, questions are being answered we expect some kind of smart thinking from the hero to nab the criminal and beat him in his own game.. in this case there was nothing it was just an old fashion hand on hand combat which was pretty disappointing.

So the movie starts off well, the pace is really good, songs on the apt places, the portrayal of the heroine is also really nice, but where it just goes downhill once it hits the intermission. After that there is no real answer what can be done or to say that what is the director trying to prove here so I just lacks that completeness, it just felt very rushed towards the end just to finish and was not really helpful.

The directors' take on the issue and few instances of brilliance are commendable, you will not be entirely disappointed and you will not be entirely happy so the movie is satisfactory.

Etharkum Thunindhavan (Take any risks) has taken few risks with plot which did not blend into the overall movie watching experience.
