Review Point
Details
Overall Verdict
A thought-heavy political revenge drama that is high on concept but suffers from uneven execution and a routine screenplay in parts.
Plus Points
Strong opening sequences establishing Kittu’s influence, Vijay Antony’s restrained performance, the menacing portrayal of the villain by Sunil Kripalani, sharp dialogues, and a brisk pace in the first half.
Minus Points
Predictable plot turns in the second half, the lack of an emotional connection, too many underdeveloped secondary characters, and the character of the investigating officer being weakly cast.
