Subbaraj thinks exclusively in terms of twists, and he shortchanges us when it comes to the emotional graphs of the characters. I wished Kayal had been given more to do – the part comes off as underwritten – and I was never convinced that Karthik, who’s shown to be such a scaredy-cat at first, could pull all this off, befriending gangsters without breaking a sweat and eavesdropping on others.
