    Not just for STR or S.J.SURIYAH or Yuvan. Its for everything.

    First its a great comeback film for STR with a great director VENKAT PRABHU who gave him this story has to be appreciated, this film has a strong story and it was well executed with the best actors and Yuvan in background was making magic spell which enhanced the experience of the whole movie and I should talk about S. J. SURIYAH's acting He has given the best output that he could, his parts in the movie are lit, loved the movie and especially i haven't felt any lag GREAT magician makes EXCELLENT magic and he will create a reveloution in it.

    Terrific Thriller!!!

    This movie is best example of how an age old masala political story can be made interesting with new concepts like 'time loop'. The screenplay and editing is stunning, and makes you go "Wow!!". SJ Suryah owns the screen in 2nd half and has great moments in the film. The strong antagonist makes this movie absolutely worth it. Do not miss!

    TREAT FOR STR FANS AND A STRONG COMEBACK

    A Time Loop concept which has used perfectly by Venkat Prabhu. STR shining in this movie. SJ Suriya's comic sense and villainism was really enjoyed by audience. A perfect entertainer for sure. This is an actual DIWALI🔥🔥🔥🔥

    Best time loop movie of tamil cinema

    SJ SURYA acting is rocking. Simbu interval scene is the best in this movie. I expect part 2 from venkat prabu. Hats off to director for the script.

    Yuvan Bgm is the terrific. For every scene different bgm. Simbu and yuvan combo are always a magic.

    Time loop regionalised brilliantly ...

    RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil RECOMMENDED

    The time loop concept is regionalised superbly. They added nice mass masala and the repeated scenes are handled cleverly.

    Its definitely the comeback movie for both STR and VP. And cherry on the top is SJ Surya. I cant imagine anyone on his Role. He is so comic and con at the same time.

    After second half the sequences between STR and SJ are high level entertainment points of the movie... it has its own drawback also like templated time loop sequences, bit slow pace in the first half and bit lengthy action sequences... Still the movie is entertaining to the core.

    Worth the watch.
