Story:
A gripping tale, the story begins with the kidnapping of Sukanya (sameera) and her boyfriend (ashwin) is killed brutally. In comes the investigating cop S P Vijay (deva) and he discovers a girl behind this. As a result, Vijay reaches a bungalow in the city outskirts and here he comes across Samar (veera). This teenager reveals his flashback which involves his sexually abused childhood, his relation with neighbour Meenakshi (swapna abraham) and how her marriage leads to a killing spree. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.


Presentation:
The director has come up with a gripping storyline and while the presentation was good, the narrative was strong. The dialogues were sharp, the script was tight and the screenplay was taut. There is no music and that is a highlight. Cinematography is top notch and scores the brownie points. Editing was crisp. Costumes were natural and trendy while the art department was apt and haunting. Sameera Reddy has come up with an impressive performance. Swapna Abraham looks sensuous and she carries her role well. Deva makes his presence felt with his act. Samantha was brief. The real show stealer was Veera who got into the skin of the character and gives shivers.


Conclusion:
It is not often that one dares to come up with such types of movies and the entire team must be appreciated for this effort. While the opening is a bit complicated, the film begins to settle with each passing scene. The first half was somewhat mild but the real chills begin in the second half. Overall, this is a film which is meant for select audience but to those who love unconventional cinema and spine chilling treats, this will work. At the box office, this will be a profit grosser.


Bharatstudent verdict: Daring, dark and riveting, must watch if you love thrillers!!
