3.25
Questions and more questions – and each of them answered in Gautham Menon’s signature slick and urban style where he effectively interweaves action, suspense, gore (like we said, it’s a daring movie!), romance and succinct “flashback” to create a well-woven thriller.

He has given the entire flavor and feels to the movie. (more)
