    Disappointing & Bland attempt

    It was hyped a lot but the end product was mediocre one.

    Acting of Aarav and other supporting actors were too artificial especially the way Aarav speaks throughout the movie. There is no twists or turns, all were pretty much predictable and most importantly boring.

    The fight scene in the climax was draggy and I can see other audiences got fed up and start scrolling their mobile phones during the second half 😬

    I think Tamil cinema should avoid making these type of typical "Corporate Mafia" concept movies, it's better to take a documentary for that than using this industry.

    In Summary: The Tamil directors should avoid taking farmer's issue and Corporate issues as their stories if they can't give something different and gripping for the audience.

    Worth a watch

    A slow start but director had done an excellent job. Worth a watch, trying to talk about making public sectors private. Editing and stunts were worth a mention. All characters acted pretty good. Climax was not a typical fight or chasing... very well executed with some worth the advice. Even if you know martial arts, single person can not win when more than 2-3 fight 😊

    Not sure who the heroin is, should I say good or not good. Not sure.

    Oh, the girl with the villain. Nice play. Typically, they don't keep a girl as an assistant. Is it samooga neethi paarvai ... don't see any good reason to have that character except to show to audience there may not be some cruel rape scene!

    1 extra point for Uthay, for may be his last movie. πŸ˜‚

    Worth to watch

    Well explained movie of corporate criminals, Uday sir acting suited to this story line , this movie is mixture of love, twist, physics and also about handbagsπŸ€—.good movie from kt team.. In this movie they tells in climax line is about heroes fighting one hero can fight with Max 3 or 4 people's when the limit exceed we want to run mass fighting is suited in films only that was an nice dialogue.

    Now many acters choosing comercials which is suited for them box office collection.

    But now Uday sir choosing some of the awareness films which is essential to know the public related contents.

    Which was nenjuku needhi also an public related films . Uday sir has lot of money to invest in movie but he is don't doing like of the wastage , they investing money for what people want to knowww.....

    Good but slow, poorly edited

    Went to watch this for the director as his style of presentation has been good so far in all his previous attempts but this one lagged in so many areas.

    The film's cat & mouse based screenplay is good enough to keep you engaged but doesn't entertain as it moves in a dead slow pace.

    The plot/story of the film also seems to be kinda unique with a different kinda corporate villan-ism but a wasted opportunity mainly due to poor music/bgm and worst editing, this is one of those films which got spoiled due to poor editing.

    The protagonist's casual act did work very well, its probably his best, other actors did just fine but nothing note worthy except the main antagonists' role which drove us through the entire thing till the very end.

    The final touch of Bruce Lee in the climax was still good even after the same concept being touched upon by many films in the past.

    Overall, its a decently made flick that deserve a one-time watch for film fanatics.

    Brilliant attempt

    Movie was too good. I don't know why people are giving bad reviews. Udayanithi was simple and acted well in this movie. As a villian character Aarav did his role well and good. Heroine had a equal space with hero. Technically should have been improved otherwise movie was top notch.

    Director engaged audience from the beginning to end of the movie. I should talk about the climax. Not like the usual movies, hero accepted that he can't fight with 8 people and win. I don't want spoil that climax fight and I wish everyone must watch the movie.

    I wish other directors also should write the script to engage the audience for the whole movie.
