Featured reviews
The only good thing about this movie is that they made a superstar act in a normal movie with zero fan service.
Having said that, the movie is boring, flat, and tests your patience. At least the first half is bearable as it had some hope and a mystery left. The real struggle starts after the intermission. Halfway through the second half, you understand it's a misfire. They could have easily made this movie at least half as interesting as Samar (2013) by having some decent redemption in the second half, but they did not.
Also, the makers misled the audience by the teaser/trailer itself. Anirudh's hyped BGM has no sync with the actual movie. Not sure whose idea was to reveal the antagonists in the teaser/trailer itself, especially when the movie itself has a wafer-thin plot line.
I can go on and on about the mishaps.
Having said that, it's not completely bad like 'Kanguva' or 'Indian 2'. It's a bit more bearable, if that counts.

This movie is an official remake of the Hollywood film Breakdown, starring Ajith Kumar, Action King Arjun, Trisha, with music by Rockstar Anirudh, and directed by Magizh Thirumeni.
I was really impressed by the director because he turned a big mass hero into a subtle character. There are no big action scenes or punch dialogues, but the hero looks very classy. Honestly, it's a great effort to change a mass hero into an ordinary man, and it worked well. The director took time to set up the story and slowly build it. He also made sure to introduce every important character, and it turned out great. The cinematography was a highlight of the movie; it brought the film to life. Anirudh's music took the movie to another level, especially the last 20 minutes, which were amazing.
However, there are a few flaws. The first one is that after watching the movie, I couldn't remember the story. It's a good film, but the story feels a bit weak. They took an idea and just built the screenplay around it. Also, the movie isn't very fast-paced; some people might find it boring, but I didn't feel that way.
Apart from that, I liked the film and think it's something you can watch with your family.

The film begins with a captivating first half hour that sets the stage well for a promising ride.
I was eager to witness more romantic elements unfold, along with a deeper exploration of the couple's marriage and their strained relationship.
Although I anticipated that it would soon shift into a rescue thriller, and indeed it did.
Unfortunately, from thereon the writing became increasingly messy, spiraling into chaos with each passing second.
Up until the intermission, it managed to keep my interest, but after that, the plot became overly convoluted, resorting to the clichés of typical Tamil mainstream cinema. As for the climax, it's best left unmentioned as it lost all coherence by that point.

Extraordinary screen play and AK, Arjun, Regina acting were speechless. You can see an new character shade of Ajith Kumar in this movie. Magizh thirumeni proves that tamil cinema also have a knowledge of making like a hollywood movie. First half was little bit slow especially AK and Trisha were going to the trip. First of all it's not a trip. That's their last trip together. They decided to take a divorce. After Arjun and Aarav's entry the whole movie was fire. As usual rocking star Anirudh plays a vital role. Background score like a fire, especially drum beat plays and suddenly stopped then audience will shout "Ajitheyyyyy".
Second half was unexpectable. I thought that second half also had a lag. But AK's character also change in the second half. This movie shows what happens when a common man gets angry. There is no punch dialogues and there is no commercial scenes and there is no audience favourable reference. It's just an action film to watch with your family. Overall don't expect anything, just go and watch the film. Definitely you will enjoy the film. At the end this is the real pongal by Magizh thirumeni.

This movie truly excels in every aspect, from its well-crafted direction to the powerful background music that enhances every scene. The acting is top-notch, with performances that feel authentic and deeply emotional. The screenplay is gripping, ensuring that every moment is engaging and logically structured. The pacing keeps you hooked, making it a film that never loses momentum. The story carries a strong message, leaving a lasting impact. A must-watch for those who love inspiring and thought-provoking cinema with great rewatch value.
