What’s Hot
- After facing severe flak for recent damp outings with big directors, Vishal is back to his brand of playing subtle characters like he did in Pandiya Naadu with Suseendhiran with whom he did Payum Puli as well. He is able to carry of the character with ease as he has the necessary freedom to showcase his acting skills in Kathakali.
- Catherine Tresa with her limited scope as the love interest of Vishal, has made a natural performance and the positive effect shows on the enjoyable scenes and in the song featuring the lead pair though her smile looked a bit over the top.
- Hiphop Tamizha’s BGM breathes energy and suspense into various non-talkie portions which helps emphasise the impact of the critical junctures in the movie.
- Director Pandiraj does a fine job creating the characters and their attributes. Vishal’s antics after he returns from abroad, Catherine’s casual attitude and the suspicious feel around Vishal’s friends are some examples of this.
What’s Not
- Though we can only empathise with the director for adding ‘commercial’ elements to market the movie, the opening song featuring Vishal and his friends is a definite let-down as it hardly enjoyable. Since the humour with Karunas and the ‘mass’ selfie fight moments definitely make it commercially viable, such compromises look far-fetched.
- In a bid to make the story unpredictable, there have been quite a few twists thrown in, but the way the screenplay is built does not give us a sense of conviction to accept them. The manner in which some of the suspects in this whodunit are unveiled – especially the climax, does not bind well and robs the screenplay of any credibility.
