    Packaging of Powerful acting & Storyline!

    The story sets the tone with Fahadh Faasil as 'Dhayalan' doing small level thefts and meets Vadivelu as 'Velayudham Pillai' in an unexpected situation and how they get close and setting their journey on a bike and facing lot of things in their journey make up the story.

    Hatsoff to director Sudheesh Sankar for giving the audience an excellent movie. This movie is narrated in such a beautiful way and story plot is too good and combo of Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil elevated the movie to another level.

    This movie kept us continuously engaging until very end. Completely very different shade of 'Vadivelu' as an actor in this movie is really very good to see and his facial expressions was so nice which reflects that he has some grim past and my respect to him reached different heights. What we pursue in the first half of the movie changes in the second half which keeps this movie in another League. Fahad Faasil acted effortlessly with his acting skills and his presence was too good to see and keeps us pumped up throughout. The director has communicated things in a precise and clear manner in this movie. Other Characters played by Vivek Prasanna & Kovai Sarala has done their role really well.

    Overall a brilliant and excellent movie with story plot, narration and acting and makes us very satisfied after watching it.

    A must watch film for the new ideas and acting by the lead roles !

    It's a different type of road journey which appears to be a cat and mouse story but turns into a mouse and snake(s) story. Just watch this movie without any real(lity) expectations as there are not many ideal films. Only concern is about the staging of some serious events in the second half which could have been better. The goosebump moment is of course a Raja song , the timing and the staging (happening in a real stage) is a bliss.

    Vadivelu The Actor

    Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu carry the movie effortlessly from start to finish. For Fahadh, this felt like a complete cakewalk-he slips into the role with ease. But the real surprise here is Vadivelu. This is truly his best performance to date, a side of him we've never seen before. Huge credit to Sudheesh Sankar for showcasing what a phenomenal actor Vadivelu is 👌.

    The retro song was another highlight, it felt organic and natural, unlike the forced trend we see in many films these days. While the second half does have some lag, the movie overall remains engaging and delivers a wholesome watch.

    Awesome acting and good storytelling

    You should watch this movie for its storytelling and awesome acting from the lead actors. While storyline is very normal, the way it was told is good. Initially it appeared like slow but nice going movie, soon it turn out to be murder mystery. Fahaad Fasil (our very own FaFa) has fully justified his character.

    A class movie spoilt by commercial inserts

    A well written and executed movie. Vadivel & Fahad carry the movie. All the other characters couldn't come close to their performance, and Kovai Sarala's casting here doesn't feel right. An otherwise amazing film was marred by a few dragging scenes and the commercial elements in the final 10 minutes.
