***********Spoiler Alert*************************
Story:A crime solving thriller, a rare subject in Tamil Cinema. It has a very good plot and ample of twists to maintain the suspense elements. Using Insurance Scam is a good idea to rationalize the story. It has a good mixture of suspense,thriller, action and romance. But giving too much space for a common man to contribute in police investigation seems a bit illogical. But overall it was racy and had enough feel good elements.
Cast: Ashok Selvan played Vetri, a newbie detective who works for a detective agency. He is quite good in acting but the characterization in this movie could have been made more bold. The confidence level in solving crime was lacking. But his romance play was good. Not forgetting his speech deliverance was natural. Janani Iyer played Madhushree, the lady love of vetri. Not the best choice of heroine for this movie. I think this story needs more of a homely look girl which this Janani doesn't fit 100% with her overdone makeup. One thing good about her is that she was good in speaking Tamil so the lip sync matches. Some of the romantic scenes was ok with her in it. Jayaprakaash played a cop role. He was good as usual. It's just that the dubbing was not done by him, it was someone else's voice. would have been better with his original voice. Other supporting roles were done by many new faces.
Screenplay: Actually this is a film with good story but average screenplay. The drawback was crime solving seems like easy in this movie. Many scenes were made as if the protagonist got the answer in a very simple process. Attempts like opening a car door or a house window, entering a police guarded house, fraudster using real names and newspaper publishing the pictures of deceased same as the one the detectives has. Director could have paid attention to this small details. Certain scenes were escalating too quickly for an unknown reason and jumping from one scene to another. The director could have slow down the pace of such scenes and justify it accordingly. Another drawback was the dialogues and monologues, seriously needs a lot of fine tuning. It wasn't so impressive. even most comedy dialogues were not funny. If you want to make a crime solving thriller, "vettaiyaadu vilayaadu" must be the benchmark. The Cinematography was good, had good shade of colours. The BGM was awesome. The movie had a lot of racy scenes and adrenaline rush in second half. But the climax was predictable. The song sequence made the romance more colourful. Since it is the first movie for the director I think it is quite a good product for a newbie.
Music: Songs composed by Nivas K Prasanna. A very feel good music, soothing and mood booster.
Plus Point: Story, Cast, Cinematography and Music.
Minus Point: Screenplay.
Verdict: A not bad crime-thriller. Can be watched once in cinema.
