There are a series of thefts that take place in his Chennai hostel. Karuna also has run-ins with a notorious guy in college. On the other hand, the greedy AC of police gets mixed up with a murder, for money and he starts covering up the mess that he has created along with his team of cops. He gets caught on tape once and this tape goes missing. It is traced that the thief at the hostel is behind this tape theft too.
Then poor Karuna gets mixed up with these cops and he escapes death barely, is sent to the mental asylum and goes through hell. An honest pregnant cop offers some hope with her acumen and effective investigation but, Karuna can't escape that easily. The ending is quite different though the heroism in the end could have been toned down.
Hits
- The grip in the screenplay. It is tight, unwavering, engaging and very interesting.
- Solid roles for Uma Riyaz as the pregnant cop, John Vijay as the ruthless greedy cop (his eyes are terrorizing), the helpful madman in the asylum, the other cops, the college father, the warden, the hero's mother etc.
- Iniya as the girl in love with the hero reminds us of Asin from her M.Kumaran days, both in looks and voice. Very homely girl
- Arulnidhi's height, serious looks and bland voice suit this character very well.
- Thaman's title track and BG score are among the highlights.
Comments
- The climax has some heroism which could have been toned down given the realistic nature of the movie
- The justification for the thefts aren't very convincing. The suspense built up behind the identity of the thief is awesome but, the moment of revelation is quite bland
- The love scenes though few, aren't needed much.
VERDICT
A real surprise from this unheralded team. A knockout movie. One of the best of 2011. Thrill, surprise and suspense galore.
