Deepa Soman The Times of India Delightfully star-studded and twisty, the film is a mystery-laden treat to those who love the franchise and the genre. Just stay away from spoilers as smartly as you can! Rated: 3.5/5 May 4, 2022 Full Review Vishal Menon Film Companion What makes the film harder to hold on to the flatness in the staging. With so many scenes set inside the CBI office with officers discussing the case, a true crime podcast would have sufficed to tell the same story. May 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

PS P For a murder mystery fan, the title and the protagonist's popularity is sure to attract. There isn't much more than that. False hype during intro which has no relevance to the plot lets you down along the way. You are still hoping, without giving up, to be revived with a twist, and realise that the actual solution to mystery exists only because of deliberate omission of the obvious information ( used already in other movie plots ) which makes you wonder, the competence of THE BRAIN ? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/23 Full Review Sachin E Everything about this movie screams "OUTDATED!" Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review Sameir A I have a particular fondness for detective films and used to love CBI films but this film was a disappointment. The film was a procession of unnecessary shots (don't ask if the film itself isn't). Many of the scenes seem to be dragged out without any coherence, not engaging, and without energy at all. "Brain" becomes an object that is not used anywhere except in the title of the film, like a deflated balloon. A very silly film, an even more childish climax. Ambilechettan's presence brought happiness. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/12/22 Full Review Read all reviews
