This movie starts with an interesting title sequence and hyperlink of characters. The screenplay relies on revealing of the plot and interlink of characters for keeping it tight and engaging. But what misses is it does not keep you on edge of seat. You are not looking for how this is gonna end, but rather why it happened this way. And, the last part is not that emotional and the intercut could have been much better ending in a Nolaesque way with title appearing last.

The emotion purely relies on the last act where the characters interact for the very 1st time together and as an audience you cannot connect it. That's the big drawback for this movie which could have been better.

The movie is interesting in so many ways with a note at the beginning, and a titular role which is not of the protagonist (or) antagonist, and how real politics happen instead of the cinematic revenge, killings.

All the characters are brilliant, and even the antagonist mother scores in a scene. The writing and making is brilliant throughout with Samuthrakani being the rescue guardian for the plight of the downtrodden.

The movies climax is beautiful that captures what is real win in politics and democracy. Cinematography and music is brilliant in the confined spaces and the shocking reality comments in epilogue is one to be must watched!!

This could have been a better documentary as the movie lacks thrill and suspense of finding the culprit. It is a brave decision to cast the serial killer as protagonist, but nothing adds up apart from Vikrant Massey giving a top notch performance.

There is a little background of why the characters are the way they are. The other technical aspects of the movie are good. The movie gets boring and repetitive after a point.

But the shocking this the lackey nature of police investigation in reality and how such things of monumental disaster were allowed to happen in first place. Reality is stranger than fiction.
