What’s Hot

  • Vikram Prabhu looks good and suits the character of the common man rising against societal evil. The lead pair essayed by Vikram Prabhu and Surabhi, show good chemistry on screen and emote well to add flair to their roles.
  • Vamsi Krishna delivers a noteworthy performance, coming across as a ruthless villain hell bent on seeking revenge on his nemesis. The stunts involving Vikram and Vamsi are refreshingly raw and look natural as both the actors are physically competent to carry off the stunts well.
  • The casting for the film is so good that the entire supporting cast, right from the lawyer to the respective sisters of the lead pair add value to every scene involving them. Ganesh venkatraman leaves a mark in his miniscule role as an honest cop.
  • Shakthi has canned the many dynamic action sequences with splendor. He has played with some angles and certain long shots elevate the viewer experience by several notches. Background score by C. Sathya accentuates the on-screen action. The ‘Love-la…Love-la’ song has the audience humming along.
  • Saravanan has handled the script in a neat fashion, which is intelligent and unpredictable at places. As his previous film, the scenes involving the vehicles tumbling/crashing are breathtaking. Due credit should be given to Vikram Prabhu as well for having chosen a very different script following his debut film.

What’s Not

  • The romantic sequences fail to balance the thin line between innocence and childishness with most of them falling on the latter side.
  • The motivation of the hero to don the role of a vigilante could have been presented better. Specifically, the scene when the hero explains his actions to his friends seems under cooked.
