Ordinary story with underdeveloped characters

Debutant Ashwin Jerome has the right looks of a hero and he is good at action sequences as well. He fits the bill. Varsha is just about adequate. Raju Sundaram�s voice works against his menacing character. Neither do the slow-mo shots help as well. There is no back-story as to why Sundaram turns a serial killer and also why he tortures the couple in eccentric manners and still wants them to be alive for a few more days. The problem with the script is an ordinary story with underdeveloped characters. The director could have infused more thrilling elements to hold the tension. The movie had all the potential to become an engaging thriller had the director concentrated more on a coherent screenplay with solid writing.(more)

film suffers due to generic writing

Much of the blame for this comes from the generic writing. It�s like the crew has set off to make a film without ever developing anything fully. Expectedly, the results too aren�t remarkable. It�s not the lead actors�it�s the audience that�s trapped.(more)
