Synopsis/Plot : Murders on the shooting spot makes director Rana the suspect, there's more to it....
Critics Review

Lacks punch.
Nana Patekar, you guess, has been chiefly inspired by Bharathiraja himself - and a seasoned actor like Nana has no doubt imbibed as much of the director as possible. Arjun, appearing briefly, fulfills the role. For a murder thriller, however, Bharathiraja's screenplay lacks punch. He seems to have b...(more)

Hold on to your seats!
Bharathiraja's skill at crafting watertight screenplay is evident as the movie travels at jet pace without a moment of sluggishness in the narrative. Besides, the narrative is smart that is capable of holding the suspense quotient until the truth is unfurled on its own during the course of the movie...(more)

Don't miss it.
Bharathiraja is back. Bommalattam is an edge-of-the-seat, intelligent and absorbing thriller. Perfect casting, superb packaging and brilliant performances by lead actors make it a must watch. Himesh Reshammiya's music is just ok. At the same time the film is exquisitely photographed and editing is c...(more)
