This movie was very good, even though we could identify who the antagonist is, they kept the thrill right through the movie. One of the negatives was, length of the movie was too long close to 3 hours, which could have been cut down. Acting of Anurag Kashyap was too good!

A nicely written cat & mouse game play. Fast & Engaging screenplay with unexpected twists & turns. Nice casting, although Nayanthara & Atharva tries to capture attention, Anurag Kashyap steals the show anyways. Vijay Sethupathi's short role had a significant impact like Madhavan in Rang De Basanti, with his climiax ending up like Ghajini, which could've been altered a bit. The kid scenes were simply enjoyable.

The second consecutive movie this year with Nayanthara in the lead. She's good in selection of movie. This one is no exception. This could have been even better to be called as a gripping thriller.

Acting: All the lead characters had acted well. But the acting of Anurag Kashyap is exceptional. Vijay Sethupathi's Cameo is short and sweet and he's good as always. Atharva acted better in this one.

Positive points:

1. As I mentioned earlier, acting part was completely good.

2. This film is technically sound one.

3. Anurag Kashyap completely ruled the film by his exceptional acting.

4. Direction was good as it tried to make audience emotional.

5. Though the movie has a running time of 2 hrs and 50 mins, we never feel bored except for love portions.

Negative points: 1. Songs are unnecessary at the moments, eventhough songs are good.

2. Running time is 2 hrs and 50 mins. It could've been handled better by removing unnecessary scenes.

3. Some scenes are easily predictable. It could've been handled in a better way.

4. It lacks some logic. I don't want to put spoilers and spoil the experience of readers.

Considering all the negative points, this movie is surely a great treat for those who love thrillers.

My rating:6/10 and additional 1 for Anurag Kashyap. Hence 7/10

Overall its a one time watch. The extra star is for Vijay Sethupathi and the Neeyum Naanum Anbe song from Hiphop Tamizha and its picturization is amazing. With better editing the film could have maintained better tempo as a thriller. Good performances by Nayathara, Atharva Murali and supporting cast. Anurag Kashyap has tried but the language barrier is visible. Although Vijay Sethupathi doesn't have lot of screen time, he steals the show with his presence and natural acting.

A movie with back to back Flashbacks.

First of all applause to Anurag for the role in this movie. It's like tamil cinema got another terrifying villan. And also for the owner of his dubbing voice Mahizh Thirumeni. Mahizh thirumeni was a director who did Thadayar Thakka. Only lagging part of the film was Atharva love scens it was too much and it's distracting from the true story.

Nayanthara again proved she is lady superstar of Tamil Cinema. Vijaysethupathi guest appearance was good one. First time he made pepole to cry in the theatres. Hip hop Thamizha Music is another piller for the movie. His theme music is daredevil. After the Intervel the movie is getting speed like a thrilling race.

It was another best thriller in Tamil cinema
