This one is not a Mass Masala, No Heroine or body moves to entertain, No soothing songs, It won't tickle your funny bones either. When did you last watched a Tamil Gripping Crime Thriller. Running barely for 2 hours.This one will make you mad asking the questions to yourself for 1.5 hours whodunit? A hit and run or hit and hide in hood, An suicide turned out to be homicide, a women missing all weaved to a amazing plot and visually engaging feast by Karthik Naren. All new Faces Except understated Rahman and Delhi ganesh done their part Well. I found myself enthralled with the dialogue at the end of the movie 'Maybe if I had narrated my story from Gautham's point of view...I would have been the villain'. A Reality is nothing. It is all Point of views.

I don't know why such high rating for this nonsense movie. Director just fooled people. So many hole in the plot. Can't digest the story. So many why's there in the movie.

I encourage naren took a Nice Movie. But Politics involved here. Raam sithiram pesuthadi and Anjadhe are great movies than this movie. Actor Rahman is brother in law to to A.R. so A.R promote this and mani ratnam is very close to A.R rahman. So he also promote this. And many director wishes them and say aaha, ooho. Why.. Do not include politics in the movie review Please. Do encourage movies that are really Nice. I'm not Individual audience any such director. I'm a common man. Not such a great movie is this. Given rating is too high.. My rating is 6.5.

Lovely murder mystery. Nice to see a movie with suspense being the theme with perfect pacing, enough eye for details, solidly enacted, no distractions of songs etc. Pretty much whatever makes a good solid yarn of a suspense from the good old school is in here. Two deaths, missing woman, disappearing witness and a Cop led by his assorted bag of assistants, including a new recruit in the hunt. I loved the way the story dealt in small details, especially at the police station, the new cops, the stress around their work etc. Rehman plays his part well. Definitely worth a watch.

The movie is watchable. The story is clear with less characters and a soothing environment. The plot is good but there are lots of mistakes in the way the incidents happen. A lot of questions can be asked about the sequence the incidents are depicted. The story is like writing a answer and preparing a question for the answer. Detective stories are like that but here it is very direct.Rape scene is the highlight of the movie as it has enhanced the movie in several ways,it gives a big emotional dimension to the movie,if the scene was replaced by something else like murder for money etc the movie will not get the same response .My verdict is overall it is good but not perfect or something to be referred to.

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

How can a police officer who has taken a shine to a new recruit completely lose track of him after their almost fatal accident? How can a smart recruit who keeps surprising his boss on the first day of his job misunderstand his boss's motives? How can someone who has seen a short glimpse of someone while driving on a poorly lit flyover remember it well enough after 5 years of coma to recognise it the instant they see it? Why does your own son not come and meet you in your office or leave a message at your desk to call him up in a major emergency that involves him killing someone and his girlfriend getting raped? How can someone have the foresight to lie about their own name to someone who they are stalking? And why would you even tell them your name in the first place? And the main police officer seems like a caricature of a smart cop.. looking for validation from a new recruit and having a terribly incompetent team around him. That's now how a good cop functions at all.. anyway.. I did like the pacing of the film, but the ending was especially bad. There was no reason for the death of the main guy (Deepak) and there was really no reason for the recruit (Gautham) to kill him to avenge 5 years of his life lost.. why didn't he kill the murderer instead? And did he really not trust or respect his boss and mentor enough to listen to their reasons for doing something? Uff.. I just hated the ending.. could've been done so much better

FINALLY !!! A KIND OF FILM I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WAITING FOR IN TAMIL CINEMA ! Truly a mind-twisting movie experience! A dark-thriller! Indeed one of the best dark thrillers in Tamil cinema! The sound mixing and background for this movie is so brilliant. Truly a a genius! Karthick Naren an young director in his early 20s delivers one of the best thrillers made in Tamil cinema. Although you might have no idea where the film is taking you to, no worries, the climax of the movie will leave you in shock. Rahaman the actor of this film totally pulled it off with ease. Its sad to see that not many people can appreciate this master piece, more films like this should come out. Support this kind of films and don't let Tamil cinema rot in the name of masala films. Top notch thriller which you will not regret watching. Its worth every penny of your money! Go watch it! My score - 9.2/10

The summary tells the whole story, the movie is very gripping, you have to be very attentive to catch every minute detail right from start the movie is well made, following points have caught my attention 1. Masked killer (Makes you want to know who is inside), great introduction 2. Rahman rubbing the eyes, which is shown as graphic in introduction. 3. Character of gautham is well made. 4. Up to the climax the killer is given great importance, but the real motive behind the story is ordinary and that intricate details are also well woven in between the plot to minute detail. 5. Ultimately our protagonist falls victim to a fate which he knows far later, but cant much help. I cant believe a debutant director has made this movie. Tamil cinema has gone to a new level, i would rate this movie above Thani Oruvan and 24. Surprising twist till last frame. One of the excellent role portrayed by Rahman Director karthick Naren is one to be taken very seriously
