I could have lived without the jackhammer-like background score, the item song at the end, and also the Saravanan-vs-many fight sequence (though this is mercifully short and choreographed fairly realistically, if that’s the word). I also wished Sundar had been better etched. Had his heinousness been established with more colour, we would have been sweating along with the hero. But the film makes good on its promise of a tight little thriller, with mostly adequate performances and a very flavourful one by Mohan Raman. He plays the mediator who, despite his obvious wealth, prefers to travel by auto. For a while, he keeps us guessing about his character. Is he good? Is he bad? In a different filmmaking climate, he’d have made a heck of a protagonist.
