Dark Crime Thriller that Thamizh Cinema didn't expect
6 January 2017 | by naveensankaran18 – See all my reviews

After the trailer impressed quiet a number of people, I had an impression that this will be yet another movie which fools around with its trailer. Karthik Naren proved me wrong.

Never seen such a dark crime thriller in Thamizh Cinema. I must say, no one expected such a young lad to perform this much.

The cinematic dark tone, grippy BGM, Screenplay treatment, Almost perfect Casting, makes this a must watch movie.

Although this is not a perfect movie, having its own loopholes, it still stands out from the crowd.

Thamizh Cinema is indeed evolving.
