The biggest challenge is the first half lacks pace and many scenes were very subtle. The first half ends on a dreary down note. One could tell from the perplexed looks on people’s face right during the intermission. The first half is a collage of sequences without a clear sense of purpose. Fortunately, Gautham gets a firm grip on the script right after the interval when the story’s pivotal knot is revealed. The dialogues are Manirathnam-esque in the starting reels. The pattern of dialogues are so jumbled that it takes additional fraction of a second to comprehend. The costumes and make-up department have done a great job for Trisha and let down Anushka. Even though the movie’s dark and heavy style give a mature look to the movie. This also will prove to be a challenge in bringing the women, family and common audience to theatres.
