A gripping 1 hour 45 minute thriller that masterfully captures a range of emotions, from deep bonds to intense disagreements, all unfolding in the wake of a tragic event. The performances are compelling and true to the film's serious tone, while the cinematography stands out, with the entire movie shot at night, without a single daylight or flashback scene. An edge-of-the-seat experience that keeps you hooked till the very end. It's been said that this is the debut film for the entire cast and crew in their individual capacities, but you'd never believe that every aspect reflects remarkable professionalism and expertise. Another unique aspect is the complete absence of any female presence on screen, except for the name 'Malar' briefly seen on a character's phone, which adds to the film's distinct identity. Must watch thriller.

Missed an opportunity to make a good movie. I originally thought it was a Hangover type movie, although based on the same concept loosely the movie looses steam every minute. The actors don't know if they are still drunk or in a hangover. Half of them slur and fumble like they're drunk and the rest act like they are having a hangover. One of them acts sober like nothing happened. Some annoying characters were hyperventilating the whole time like little girls and made it unwatchable. Horrible acting and shouting made the experience painful to watch. Had to pause the movie several toiles just to catch a break and come to back to it later just see them all hyperventilating again and shouting and screaming like little girls.

I had high hopes after watching the trailers and reading some of the reviews here - but alas the movie is pretty flat! Dialogues and setting is far too artificial, screenplay jarring and forced - with jump cuts exasperating this disconnect with realism / organic flow.

Acting is fresh and good - but director need to reign in the actors are moments or make the shots better to suit the lack of experience - tight shots and low lights makes the loud and rough edges of actors really stand out !

I am serious disappointed - tamil movies need experimental movies like these - that explore the human psyche and grey themes - but this sadly this did not work for me at all.

Great Attempt with neat screen play keeps engaging by making feel like travelling along. Cinematography picturised Night beautiful which keep engaging more keeping us along in the drama. Well composed background music felt apt to scene carrying the emotions. Never felt like movie made by new director.

It's refreshing to watch a movie that does not stick to traditional storytelling.

We start with the middle of the character's arguing and story unfolds by their conversations. It makes us concentrate on what's going on and the dramatics is a little bit over the top, but we won't notice it since that's convincingly played.

Cinematography, direction and music is fantastic.

I heard it's a debut for all the cast and crew and it's hard to tell from the final output.

Overall, It's not everyone's cup of tea, for some people who loves to sip and enjoy tea, it's a treat to them.

Recommend the film to cinema lovers!!!
