    Worth Watching

    An awesome thriller that keeps you on the edge of seat. It's a movie where the characters meet each other by chance which is rare but not impossible after all it's a small place we live on. Has everything for a movie lover comedy, romance, thrill, crime and a message in the end. Overall 9/10

    Good start, excellent narration, excellent acting BUT...

    Good start, excellent narration, excellent acting BUT... A horrible ending!!! Unnecessary deaths and unnecessary twist... to make things worse - there are quite a few blaring holes in the logic towards the end. I am very upset that a good film has been wasted... now I know why the film did not have a good run

    A very powerful movie

    Movies like these only make Tamil film industry alive. A low budget film without any pomp or extravaganza. But the performance by the all the actors in the movie is strong and realistic. Actually they lived as the characters, devoid of being cinematic. This movie starts like some other movies of the same genre like Moodar Koodam. Only few people can guess the real plot. The twist comes near the end of the movie and it's really shocking as well as disturbing. But this movie glaringly reflects the grim reality of people's extreme greediness which forces them to extreme, unimaginable situations. A real gem that would have buried unnoticed but for the positive reviews by fellow movie fans. Praises to those who had rated this movie positively.

    Maharaja-lite, in a good way.

    Fans of the recent blockbuster Maharaja, this one's from the same director (Hard to believe he's only two films old and has come up with screenplay masterclass in his very 2nd film, but Kurangu Bommai is where you see him trying out this approach in a thriller that's very underrated.

    Crime thriller fans, this should totally be on your list. You'll feel that it's slightly dated, which it is, came out a while back but that's likely going to be because you've watched similar content since this one released. For a 2017 movie, this is definitely brilliant and you can see shades of Maharaja in here.
