    Interesting political movie .

    Writer , written and directed by debutant Franklin Jacob. The story revolves around two police men of Tamil Nadu police and a victim, and also deals with the politics and caste issues in the Police Department. It's a well scripted story with realistic moments and melodramatic flavours of a commercial cinema .
