    Cool and Thrilling

    Ratings : 4/5 ! Must watch ! Miss it at your own risk !

    Pros : Plot,Execution,Screenplay,Acting,Editing,Excellent Background score ! Cons : Nothing big but dialogues could have been a bit better.

    Hindu : Thegidi-License to thrill ! India Today : Must watch thriller.

    First of its kind movie in Tamil cinema with Hollywood style making and handling yet again from new artists.Technically sleeky and cool ! Perfect screenplay and a clean movie without any unwanted elements. Acting is flawless ! Ashok selvan(Lead) is yet another rising star ! (another guy's acting as his friend is worth mentioning). Background score is Excellent and well synchronized with the mood of the movie and songs are perfect.

    Its for people who like movies (rather than actors or actresses). Finally Worth every penny you spend !

    Bottomline : Experience the freshness of this flawless quality film

    Rocking movie !

Kudos to the team! Waiting For Part 2! Will be one of the BEST ENTERTAINER IN 2014 Tamil cinema! Ashok selvan Has improvised a Lot From His Previous Movies to carry the Movie In his Shoulders! Jp Sir Have Acted Well As he does always! Editing Is crispy! Music By Nivas Prasanna Is another Plus for the film! The Music Does Goes along with the movie! Wonderful BG Score! Overall a Gud Movie to be watched again and again! Tamil cinema is going Hollywood Now! A Sherlock Homes Type Movie! the Only One worry is i guess the movie could have been on a bigger budget! It would have been more awesome to see such a great story in a big budget!

    Good movie

    Pros : Good acting, direction, screenplay. Cons : Stale story, Ineffective dialogues. I watched this movie only for Late Sai Prashanth ,Kaali Venkat and Ashok Selvan. I concept of an brilliant detective getting used by fake detective agency for criminal act is not new. I have seen such story in malayalam movies and Hollywood also. However, I appreciate the acting skills and tight direction. However, instead of putting songs, the producer could have spend money on story-building.
