Special mention should be made of the supporting cast of actors who raises the bar. Kalaiarasan as Anbu is riveting. His body language and dialogue delivery in almost a parallel role is terrific. And Hari who plays Johnny the lunatic is good; Ritwika as Anbu’s wife Mary and Rama as Kaali’s mom are all natural and realistic.
Another major plus for the film is Santosh Narayanan’s music and BGM. The songs “Kaagidha Kappal”, “Aagayam” and Gana Bala’s pathos song are the pick. The drum sound in the climax gives you goose bumps. Murali’s camera is a character by itself and night effect shots add to the mood. Art director T Ramalingam has made it look as natural and entire film has been shot in North Madras actual locations.
