    This movie is my favourite movie of 2016. A movie like this took a bloody long time to come. Karthick Naren thank you. In a masala filled industry with cliché dialogues and overrated action sequences,this movie definitely stands out. The movie puts you in the edge of your seat from the very beginning. The movie captures every details so delicately. The plot is decent but the way it is dealt with is what makes the movie so thrilling. Rahman did a great job to keep us thinking till the end. This movie should have been dubbed and released in multiple languages. The twist was like icing on a black forest cake. Best 1hr 44 min of my life. This is a must watch. DO NOT MISS IT
