Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania An engrossing thriller led by Vijay Sethupathi's stellar performance. Rated: 5/5 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Bhuvanesh Chandar The Hindu In his sophomore film, Nithilan Saminathan pronounces the style of filmmaking he wishes to follow, but convenience in the writing and a contrived third act mars this gripping thriller. Jun 29, 2024 Full Review Sruthi Raman Film Companion Complicated destiny is everything in Vijay Sethupathi’s terrific hyper-link thriller. It is this labyrinthine web of writing choices that also urges us to overlook its missteps. Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Manjusha Radhakrishnan Gulf News (UAE) One of the most disturbing, enigmatic, and visceral watches of 2024. The labyrinth route that director Swaminathan opts for might feel tiresome, but stay with this film until the very end and you may feel gratified. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Roopa Radhakrishnan The Times of India Vijay Sethupathi is wonderful in his 50th film, and he has a well-written role at his disposal. Rated: 3/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Latha Srinivasan Hindustan Times Vijay Sethupathi is stellar in this thrilling tale of a desperate father. Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Rajashankar R Movie was so detail and emotional Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Sureka Must watch movie. After a long time watched a good movie. but the screen play and editing played a major role. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Dheeraj Excellent writing and screenplay! stellar performance by Vijay Sethupathi Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review vino Please watch it! Not with young kids . The movie was much better than I expected. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Hepin D Really good and well written story. Gives a great built up in the first half and has shown excellent execution of it in the second half, really loved it. Probably one of the best thrillers on Netflix. Great Story 👏👏👏 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Maharaja - 9/10. I haven’t seen Kurangu Bommai yet, but, I’m sure its a fantastic movie after watching this film. The thing that the director has done oh so well is writing an intricately layered non linear story. You might watch this and think: where’s this going and what is the point of the direction of the narrative? You are introduced to a bunch of characters, and you’re thinking and asking yourself how and why we are being shown all these people? But then the intermission twist happens and you realize where things are headed. This is yet another dark story (and I honestly gave this a 9 instead of a 10 just because of the fact its another dark story which goes into avenues which I felt disturbed by), but this story is told in a unique and interesting way. Every scene matters, and I’m not even exaggerating that fact. You think a scene might be a throwaway portion, when really it has a deeper (and sometimes disturbing) meaning. This is definitely Vijay Sethupathi’s best film in ages, and he’s acted so well here. And what is up with his super strength in some roles? First it was the iron fist in Master, now its the iron grip here. Honestly, its the writing and direction that take precedent here, which is nice to see. Also, one of the most gut wrenchingly harsh endings I’ve seen in tamil in quite a while. You would have thought that ending was written up by Bala himself. Great movie, but another harsh watch!
