Worthwhile mainstream thriller

The most impressive aspect of the film for me was the vulnerability of the protagonist.

A solid cybercrime action thriller

Irumbu Thirai is super strong with slick visuals of George C Williams, editor Ruben chopped off all the unnecessary songs which is a very good move and Yuvan Shankar Raja's BGM is the third hero of the film after Vishal and Arjun.(more)
