    Don't Get Your Hopes Up

    Yo, peeps, let's break down this flick real quick. The plot? Not the most thrilling ride, ya feel? The storytelling is a'ight, and some scenes got that good pen game, while others just straight-up snooze-worthy.

    Now, Japan's character? A mix, fam. Sometimes, it's all entertaining and got you smirkin', but other times, it's just flat-out annoying. The director's hustle is decent, nothing mind-blowing. Karthi brings the heat with a solid performance, no cap. Anu Emanuel? Sorry, but she's kinda putting us to sleep. Sunil does his thing like always, so mad props to him.

    Now, peep this: the locations, sets, and fits are on point-props to the crew for that. Cinematography? Straight fire. Background music? It bumps. Should you check it? Nah, but if you catch it, keep them expectations in check, you feel me?

    Pure unadulterated trash

    I wonder what made anyone involved to even make this movie. The two story lines are so abhorrent and unbearable meandering everywhere but going nowhere. Karthi tries to make an impact but falls flat in his face with every scene being more cringeworthy than the last. The violence scenes seem unnecessary and the characters from his henchmen to the cops don't add any meaning. The worst is the cheap copycat of the GVM cop role whose entire role is to keep chasing the culprit.

    The scene where the so called movie about Japan was made kicks in at about five mins. If you can survive and enjoy the movie scene which runs for five mins then please continue with the movie but if you can't just get out and walk away.

    Life's too short to waste three hours on this movie.

    Buffoonery written all over: awful, distasteful and an edgelord attempt!

    This movie is one of the prime examples of enduring oneself in cinematic torture, and I find myself envying those who had the foresight to download this film instead of wasting their time and money at the theatre. I wish the critically acclaimed Raju Murugan didn't indulge in pleasuring himself with visual appeal over narrative coherence.

    This is solely made for the sake of aesthetic buffoonery. The gags are not organic, and the film feels forced from start to finish.

    I would not recommend it to anyone, even those who loves the director's previous work or the fans of actor Karthi. I know Karthi has delighted audience with his creative endeavours churning out some good to passable films. But this film is desperate to be edgy and juvenile that both the Director and cast forgot what it means to make a decent cinema.

    In closing, this is a film that will make you wish you could get back the time you wasted watching it. Those who are planning, Run far, far away and reclaim those precious minutes of your life. You'll thank me later.

    Time And Money Waste

    Before you guys spending money on this movie, Karthi was going with the flow then suddenly I don't know why he chooses this movie worst screenplay worst storyline and acting was kind of unnatural Karthi tried a new body language and slang but it gets annoying in a while.

    GV Prakash music was ok other actors like fillers to this movie not an impactful characters.

    The movie mixed with variety of sentiment and entertainment but it doesn't helps us to get in with the flow if you 're a expecting something big like Kaidhi or Theeran this is not the right movie overall not worth it for money I spent.

    Worst of Worst and boring

    Senseless Narration * Lackluster Story & Very Poor Screenplay * Forgettable Songs * Silly Heroine Track & Investigation Scenes * Half Baked Sub Plots * Weak Characterizations.

    * no logic and all characters look like serial drama artist for episodes * Worst body language of karthi and don't know what he is trying to imitate * Even the screenplay is very weakly written. The flow of scenes never makes any proper sense and the scenes never create an interest in the way they are being unfolded on screen. All the subplots are poorly written, especially the heroine track looks very silly and unwanted as she appears only for 10 minutes in the whole film. Even the whole investigation process never engages us.
