Premise: Arun Vijay and his girlfriend seek financial stability, they come across the hero's look-a-like who is super rich. They kill him to take over his identity and wealth, it turns out he is a murder convict. The consequences form the crux of the story.
Writing/ Direction: The film has a strong outline that feels ideal for shaping a cracker of a commercial entertainer, with three engaging plot points placed effectively across the beginning, middle, and end. However, the execution remains mixed. The dialogues could have been more authentic to firmly establish the story world, and the first half feels stretched in parts due to pacing issues in the talk-heavy portions. As the film progresses, the latter half leans heavily on action without sufficient dramatic build-up, resulting in repetitive confrontations rather than truly exciting situations. The use of AI visuals for certain visionary moments slightly affects the film’s texture, while inconsistencies in world-building—such as the portrayal of the lead pair’s financial status through their styling—make it harder to fully empathise with them. A few filler scenes and dated song placements further extend the runtime, and some character writing, particularly that of the female lead, feels one-dimensional, missing scope for greater emotional depth.
Verdict: Thin story yet there are a handful of plot-points with the potential for it to become a racy actioner. But the lethargic writing, drags the film from what it could have been.
