Histoire
Le saviez-vous

Commentaire en vedette
The central plot of the movie follows a somewhat traditional trajectory, reminiscent of numerous Indian films and works like "A History of Violence," adapted from a graphic novel by John Wagner. Nonetheless, Director Lokesh, in collaboration with his writing team, skillfully injects a rejuvenating dose of suspense into the storyline with brilliantly executed plot twists. It's worth noting that the flashback segments seemed hurried and unconvincing, which affected the second half, and the pacing in the first half could have benefited from some tightening, especially the over-budget hyena sequence.
To avoid revealing any spoilers, I'll conclude my thoughts here.
Vijay delivers a commendable performance in both of his roles. While his appearance as Parthiban, a character in his mid-40s, may not be exceptional, it remains acceptable, and his acting is good. His portrayal of Leo, on the other hand, looks good but doesn't offer much to act on because of the short duration.
Trisha didn't get a meaty role, but as always, she delivers a fantastic performance, radiating beauty even in a role that requires her to portray a woman in her 40s and a mother of a teenager. Her on-screen chemistry with Vijay is superb, a genuine treat for their fans.
Sanjay Dutt's presence in the film is decent, though his acting doesn't quite match up to the overall cast's caliber. Arjun Sarja's role is actually useless, but his appearance and acting are good.
The supporting cast delivers their best efforts, contributing to the film's overall quality. Priya Anand and Anurag Kashyap are underutilized.
The action sequences are well-executed and visually appealing. The cinematography showcases moments of extraordinary brilliance, although it falls short in some areas. The songs may not be remarkable, but the background score is notably strong. The film's locations, sets, and costumes are adequately done, while the VFX work could have been more refined.
Lokesh's direction deserves recognition for steering the film in a positive direction, but he should work on his writing.
In summary, I recommend experiencing this movie in theaters to fully appreciate the cinematic journey it offers. #LCU.
