C.V.Kumar
who began his career as a filmmaker with the much acclaimed Attakathi went on
to produce films that were watch-worthy like Pizza, Sodhu Kavvum etc and in the
bargain, had also launched very many filmmakers like Ranjith who have turned
really big! He has now launched himself as a director and daringly so, has
taken up a very complicated theme for his debut!
In one way,
the film could be categorised as a science fiction that blends the contemporary
scenario. Interestingly, the film opens up on a futuristic note with the scene
dated to 2037 before coming back to the present (2017).
Sundeep
Kishan who is riding on a high wave since Maanagaram has been cast in a
different role here-that of a cop who undergoes some traumatic experiences soon
after witnessing a cold blooded murder and in the following clash with the
murderer, he almost kisses death!
Jackie
Shroff makes a belated appearance close to the closing portions of the film but
still manages to make quite an impact!
Bhagavathi
Perumal who stole the show in Naduvule Konjam Pakkathai Kaanom and Pichaikkaran
as well, has been cast in a crucial role here and he has made the best out of
the opportunity offered!
The theme
centres around a series of murders and the young cop who takes up the
investigation is rather shocked than surprised to find that they are all eerily
similar!
The film is
a gripping thriller, a whodunit and he has tactfully blended elements of a
science fiction! No doubt, the film takes its time to settle down but once it
gets settled, then it follows a steady pace loaded with several twists and
turns most of which are unexpected!
Sundeep
Kishan has carried himself well throughout the proceedings and has registered
the right kind of expressions whenever he his upon a black wall in course of
his investigations! Lavanya Tripathi as a psychiatrist is adequate but her lip
sync leaves much to be desired!
The plot is about a cop, Kumaran (Sundeep
Kishan) who stumbles upon a murder. In the chase that follows, the murderer
gets killed and he too almost dies only to recover after a while. More murders
take place and a similarity is seen by him that is most puzzling! With that
murderer (Dheena), already dead, how can the same pattern of killing could be
executed is the billion dollar question!
As the case
progresses, Kumaran realises that there is more facts hidden underneath than
those that meet the eye!
Further
investigations take him to a science research centre where he unearths some
shocking facts about a research scientist who is already dead!
As he moves
on, more shocking occurrences spring up pushing him into a tight corner!
How the
puzzle gets sorted out finally is the thrilling rest!
Ghibran’s background score lends credibility
to the sequences. Gopi Amarnath’s cinematography and Gopi Anand’s art direction
add pep to the proceedings!
