      Good theme with Over dramatic, love combinations and songs ruined...

      I have an expectation about this movie while i am reading a review about this movie. Unfortunately its end with below my expectation. A good theme how they ruined with over dramatic over built up. Still they didn't learn how to make Mystery / thriller / Drama. They can remove over love combinations and songs. I know there is people who loves this kind of over dramatic movies. can't give this movie above 5 in 10.

      Mismatching costumes for CBI officer Heroin, with high heal fancy foot wear no way.....

      but we can't expect who is Rudra... that is a wonderful try, hats off.

      Awesome thriller with unexpected twists

      The plot was well constructed and executed. The cast enassemble was near perfect. There were times when the story felt unnecessarily dragged. But overall, the movie will take you through an exciting journey.

      One Time Watchable

      Let me make it simple for the readers

      The overall theme of the movie was above average but the way it was presented on the screen was over dramatic. The Cast was good, but no one was too good in the movie due to lack of strength in the script and the dialogue it delivered. Nayantara's selection of movie was bold. Too much cliche in the movie which makes it too obvious. Songs were completely unnecessary. Overall you can just watch it one time and then forget about it.

      Worth to Watch

      Worth to Watch. Beautiful love and action thriller movie about the psycho series killer.
      7saikrishnan_krrish

      A good thriller which could have been even better.

      The second consecutive movie this year with Nayanthara in the lead. She's good in selection of movie. This one is no exception. This could have been even better to be called as a gripping thriller.

      Acting: All the lead characters had acted well. But the acting of Anurag Kashyap is exceptional. Vijay Sethupathi's Cameo is short and sweet and he's good as always. Atharva acted better in this one.

      Positive points:

      1. As I mentioned earlier, acting part was completely good.

      2. This film is technically sound one.

      3. Anurag Kashyap completely ruled the film by his exceptional acting.

      4. Direction was good as it tried to make audience emotional.

      5. Though the movie has a running time of 2 hrs and 50 mins, we never feel bored except for love portions.

      Negative points: 1. Songs are unnecessary at the moments, eventhough songs are good.

      2. Running time is 2 hrs and 50 mins. It could've been handled better by removing unnecessary scenes.

      3. Some scenes are easily predictable. It could've been handled in a better way.

      4. It lacks some logic. I don't want to put spoilers and spoil the experience of readers.

      Considering all the negative points, this movie is surely a great treat for those who love thrillers.

      My rating:6/10 and additional 1 for Anurag Kashyap. Hence 7/10
