      Good thriller to watch with some good theme

      RATED 7/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Aha

      The core theme is really impressive one. They took more than enough time to introduce each character. Still it was so beneficial when the core theme get unfolded.

      The horror factor and some scare moments are presented very well, especially the ticket checker sequences. Watch it with some good sound effect.

      At the same time the movie looks more dragged and lost its narration on the love Jodi elope and marriage sequences. The entire bus sequence was awesome except this marriage flow.

      Some of the fight sequences and songs could be easily avoided. The climax is bit over the top.

      "Felt like reading a gripping novel"

      Such a wonderful suspense thriller. While the story was taking its own shape in the 1st half, the 2nd half of the story brought me to the tip of my seat, traveling back and forth in time and connecting the dots with the unexpected twists was mind blowing. Especially when it kept all of us thinking where did this guy disappear with the bag? The role was really well played by actor Thanikai, which indeed brought us to tears with his emotions. Kudos! To the entire crew..The best part was, watching a good movie which was well narrated. My dad while he walked out, was reminiscing each and every scene and finally said this with satisfaction "oru nalla novel padicha feeling"

      Silent thriller - always Arulnithi movies

      I like Arulnithi movies for his silent thriller acting... while other heroes are engaged with their commercial movies... Arulnithi always give silent yet superhit movies... That's Arulnithi's style which I like more... In diary one guy surprised me with his emotional acting... who literally made me cry in the climax scene...nobody can match mother's love,it has been beautiful portrayed in this movie... Hey Thanikai you did a great job man, Loved your acting... You have a great future ahead... I wish to see you in more and more movies ... Best wishes for all your upcoming projects - ur new fan.

      Supernatural Thriller

      A super engaging thriller that keeps you gripped till the end. Typical start with as investigation, bit lagged before the interval, took racily and engaging to the climax. The writing has been done intensely, best for the supernatural but could have done more or skipped the romance, jumpscares, and comedy parts. The emotions have been well done and loved the way he has connected everything. Though some scenes were predictable, the twist at the end was perfect, making us forget the flaws in the first half. Arulnithi's performance was top and the soundtrack was at its best, which made it intense in many scenes, yes the cinematography was good too. Color grading and Visual Effects could have been done more better. I loved the way Innasi Pandian made the script. Overall it's a good watch.

      Ok type.. lots of loopholes

      NEITHER BAD NOR AMAZING MOVIE

      Concept was thrilling but the truth unveil was very poor. Many loop holes are there. Many unnecessary comedy and heroism was there which could be altered.

      Screenplay could have been better. Writer is best but again the unveil of truth could be more better.

      Wrong time comic scenes are there which could be avoided.

      Watched the movie but due to the loopholes lot of questions in mind still there.

      I feel director could improvise in a better way before releasing. I am not saying it is bad movie but the expectations were very high and the truth unveil resulted poor.

      Hope to see more better contents in near future.
