Like his previous oththa seruppu film, IN had great story to be shot as a proper live action film. It now has great staging and blocking, no doubt. But, it looked like theatrical drama. With Parthiban's sense of direction and shot conception, this film would have won real awards instead of 'world's first..' 'india's first..' etc. And VFX cg could have been better..

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: amazon Prime

You will really get awestruck by the effort they put for this movie. At the same time you will be hit with big boredom by the exhausted story and depressing event flow.

The work has the Parthiban touch but it badly missed in the screenplay and entertainment factors. We can see the effort on every scenery changes, at the same time it adds depression only on each and every progress.

Because of the effort want to appreciate at the same time because of the content cant appreciate. If you can enjoy the hard work of movie, this is for you. If you are only concerned on end presentation, you will be disappointed.

First film in the world with SINGLE SHOT NON LINEAR script. Creator PARTHIEBAN excelled the script with strong cast and crew. Movie started with BTS which shows the hard-work, dedication and intensity of the cast and crew. Anyway The long dedicated journey brings SUCCESS to the creator.

NON-LINEAR narration, single shot, AR rahman musical added advantage for this movie. Yet another art given by PARTHIEBAN.

Hands off to parthiban for taking a challenge like this and executing this movie. Big salute to the art director and the whole production team who managed to put up a set like this. Parthiban claims it's the first single shot non linear movie. I am really surprised that they could pull off something like this in a single shot. The movie travells into different setups frequently and as early mentioned it is a non linear story narration. The love story especially the first one was my favorite. The camera man deserves a big praise for making this movie possible. The writing was good at many places but at some points it feels a bit dragged. Parthiban has proved that he is a director who always attempts to do something new with his every movie. AR rahmans songs were good, especially the telgu song. Parthiban and all the female characters who came in the movie gave very nice performance.

Since they use a lot of voice overs to narrate the story, it sometimes gets confusing which is his dilouges and which is the voice over. The climax didn't work for me much. The movie did not work for me much emotionaly also as it is supposed to work.

Although many claimed that this film isn't the first non-linear narration destroying all its marketing effort to make it one, that whole discussion stopped abruptly and the film didn't seem to gain any awards.

Parthiban is a man who likes stealing the show from others and scoring in any place wherever he is and that's exactly the problem all his films have, we always get to see the narration from his perspective only and that sometimes feels so monotonous and so even if the film was made well, it just doesn't hold you in any way.

This is probably the first film where the entire world was shocked to know that the whole 1st part was just the making of this film as it portrays all the difficulties that they faced while. Making the entire film in a single shot, this might be a monumental film in that case, but the content was so dark and heavy, plus the performances looked so artificial and we just couldn't connect with the film especially watching the 2nd part after having watched the 1st part, so that's precisely my advice to you, if you haven't watched and are planning to watch it, watch it in reverse: watch 2nd half first and 1st half, at last, this way you might like the film also.

This film is definitely a different try with a humungous effort from the entire crew, these kinda films could only be made by people who're so much passionate about cinema like kamal & Partiban, idt, anybody else would fit that bill in Tamil cinema.
