Should be one of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. Background score and cinematography stands out but at the core, the script fails to capture the emotions of the characters. The investigation is hardly clever and brain-teasing. You know what you are expecting and there is a lot of your typical Indian movie "clichés". I have seen better thrillers like Anjaam Pathira which is more akin to a real life investigation

Must watch movie.....When i saw the movie, i can feel my hearbeat sounds faster. Each and every short,vishual's is outstanding & perfect, No words to say..., 100%% sucess.....movei, spoilers Please dont degrade this wonderful Movei.

The movie is awesome and keeps you engaging until the final climax where suddenly characters started making sillying mistakes and allowing the killer to slip from their hands. Which really was frustrating. Given that the actor asking in few scenes before to another police officer to shoot at killer without thinking but when himself presented the same opportunity doesn't do so. He has a clear shot ahead while the killer is just paused prior hammering the kid. Actor could have simply shot at killer's hammer holding hand but instead he simply moves near and allowing the killer to slip again. In several instances I found it dumb for police officers to gave up their vehicles and chase killer on foot when apparantly the killer is in vehicle. The entire buildup and suspense was truly engaging and the story went quite good untill it reached its climax and closure sequence. Unnecessary past reference that too out of context which lead to illogical conclusion of teasing the killer just to distract didn't made sense. And killer in-spite being diagnosed with hormone disorder disease had surprisingly super natural stamina to keep attempting to arise after every blow. Actor was literally giving the killer third degree kind of beating still killer was amazingly agile and quick on feets. To sum up the frustrating mistakes were: 1. Police officer not shooting (at least on legs) even when Hero is explicitly repeating to do so on phone.(Atleast he fires at tire. Bless him for that); Plus why he allows the killer to play with cards? 2. Hero not shooting killer (hypocrite) when had clear chance. Was he afraid that killer's speed of swinging hammer being faster than bullet? 3. The actress while running upstairs away from killer is clearly trying to save the kid but surprisingly she somehow manages to forget the kid in very next scene. Lol. Killler was too scary for her consciousness maybe 4. The doctor driving the car when found the kid ahead and after having a glimpse of killer surprisingly turns to feet instead of car to run away. How smart! 5. In a chase scene where the actor is chasing on feet and other officer on bike, the killer gets rid of them easily by applying the brakes and making bike officer to bump on the Van. And amazingly the unhurt actor prioritise to console bike officer instead of continuing chase by bike or foot. Bike officer wasn't really fatally injured!

Being #5 on IMDB ratings (India) , expectation was a lot more. Watched this movie just to find out it's not worth the hype. 1. Primarily it doesn't keep up with raw-crime thriller genre. Why do the Indian directors feel the need to dramtize things so much? 2. The editing at the very initial part of the film seems like the creators were in a hurry to narrate the actor's story and the killings. It was like watching too many cut scenes in sequence. Also some scenes could have better cut off to save too many explanations. 3. The diseased villian so strong that he could stand up even after the brutal bashing by the actor at the end part. 4. The killings were well planned and brutal but the killer seemed to be just an average one. (No he isn't a raatchasan). Atleast the teacher psycho seemed more terrifying. 5. There are no CCTVs on the streets. May be the police might not find it handy. 6. Prothestic department still stuck on dashavatharam days. 7. Thankfully the music is incredible. But the plot still kept the audience engaging and some good screenplay would have matched the hype. If you guys feel this one of its kind watch Anjaam Pathira.
