View :

Writer & Director Arivazhagan has done a decent effort in making a nice n interesting suspense flick. Thaman did a wonderful job in re-recording [ and Sound effects too ] and followed Yuvan in the songs [ Thank God – just 3 short songs ]. Cinematographer Manoj has done a catchy job to get the mood of a thriller. The dialogues are sharp and effective. Due to the limitations of Tamil cinema, a thriller which should have been ended in 90 mins, was dragged to 140 mins [ 2nd half konjam dragging ].

The artists have done their job neatly [ especially Sindhu menon] and justified their roles. The design and concept of the film is too good – wetness. Right from the first frame, water is used as an element throughout the movie. Nice to see cloudy/rainy Chennai and Trichy [ he tried something like David Fincher’s “Seven” – Trichy eppadi sudumnu kann[ kaal] aara kandavan naan . It’s a decent effort from S pictures and Arivazhagan. [ Kids don’t like the film – My son was enquiring about when Spider man would come and fight with the police 🙂 ].

It’s good to see the varieties of movies that come out. The movie resembles, reading a thriller of Sujatha. As always, it’s more effective in theatre.
