- All the ingredients of a thriller are spot on. Terrific sound effects, rottweiler dogs, eerie lighting, class cinematography ... aesthetic sense written all over this Gautham product.
- What a shocking genre bender from Gautham who usually is a director for the entire family.
- Terrific debut by Veera. Such a tough role as Veera-Samar-Meenakshi amma rolled into one ... Commendable 'Psycho' show
- Sameera as the traumatized Sukanya is adequate.
- The woman who acts as Meenakshi has a major role. Initially the caring mother like woman, later the gory burnt up avenger image ... Scary make up ...
- The twist in the tale actually makes this product top notch and really international class.
- A different message about male sexual abuse rather than the clichéd female sexual abuse.
VERDICT
Just when you start thinking that Gautham is going overboard with the psycho acts performed by Samar and Meenakshi amma, he gives us a terrific shock that hits us like a bolt. A worthy tribute to all the hallucination and multiple personality based Holly classics ... DON'T MISS IT ...
