A Neat Little Tense Drama

Anucharan makes an assured debut. There is a strong authority over the medium and this is evident in every scene. This is another film which is about it's protagonist who is not a hero.

A low-key thriller that is richly detailed and realistic

This is one movie that realises that there is good and bad in everyone. Even the antagonists are painted in a considerate manner that reinforces that it is situations that force people to act one way or another. In an earlier scene, we see Soundarapandian visiting Kathir's home for his child's birth...(more)
