Rating - 4/5
A gripping dark action suspense thriller set on the backdrop of a central prison.
The crux of the story is on the fate of a hapless innocent guy who was put behind the bars being the scapegoat for the affluent race,whose life turns out to be a dilemmic locus when a new offficer
imposes his ruthless and authoritative protocols creating turmoil and chaos inside the prison.
Robust screenplay has effortlessly set background for staging the characters effortlessly in the movie. The joint efforts of the writers and the director behind moulding the character arcs for the central characters in the movie giving avenues for performance is worth mentioning. The movie brilliantly exposes the inside politics,dramatic sympathy towards the underdogs and downtrodden and the significance of power and currency in a developing democratic system. The expectation the trailer gives holds true with the satisfaction and engaging experience of the audience.
Spellbound performances by RJ Balaji,Karunanidhi Sethu,Selvaraghavan,Sharafudheen & Hakim Shajahan. Impressive performances by Natarajan Subramaniam,Saniya Iyyappan,Samuel Abiola Robinson,Balaji Shakthivel & Ravi Raghavendra. The earnest efforts of the casting directors in bringing the subtle performances of jail inmates is to be well acclaimed.
Kudos to Prince Anderson, Selva RK & Dinesh Subbarayan Master in giving a cutting edge action thriller. Christo Xavier has proved his mettle in Kollywood with his distinct and iconic BGM's and the English lyrical song in the climax sequence elevated the visual experience. Hats off to you Sidharth Viswanath for the epic storytelling without leaving loose ends.
A must watch suspense thriller in big screens for an enthralling experience.
