Michael is a guy who works as a pizza delivery guy in 'Pitstop'. He is happy with his girlfriend Anu and both of them share a lovely 'Alaipayuthey' style relationship. They even get married after Anu gets pregnant unplanned. Anu is interested in ghosts and stuff while Michael doesn't believe in them and is even scared of them.
Michael's life turns upside down on a pizza delivery to a place called Smitha bungalow, which he learns is haunted. We are led on a real thrill ride filled with spooks and horror. The first half passes on in this house as Michael navigates around in the midst of three spirits.
Later we realize in a mighty twist what things exactly are. The twist is debatable and the director really springs a surprise, one must say. The movie becomes sort of Guy Ritchie meets Manoj Night Shyamalan. The movie ends in an open manner too upping the excitement even more.
This is one of those rare intelligent movies which has a very tight script. There is lot of scope for debate and analysis about the movie post its closure. Vijay Sethupathy arrests you in the first half with his scared reactions. The camera is high-res and the lighting is top class in the bungalow scenes. The BGM is apt and silence has been used to up the thrills. The songs are also in sync with the movie with 'Engo Odugindrai' towards the climax being a brilliant rock song. The jazz song sung by Gaana Bala comes as a ringtone in the bungalow scenes and it is really thrilling.
You may find yourself covering your face at many points in the first half as the scares are really there. The audience releases the tension by passing out some comments and shrieking. That's part of the enjoyment in such thrillers.
Remya Nambeesan shares scintillating chemistry with Vijay and the first part of the movie breezes past thanks to them. Special mention also to the thrilling opening credits akin to Paranormal Activity.
FINAL WORD: Very tight and intelligent movie with a pretty surprising twist. Almost like two different films. MUST WATCH.
