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.

3.5/5

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.
