Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Arav's lacklustre cop drama has nothing going for it

Performance-wise, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Arav, Santhosh Prathap and Mahat Raghavendra have delivered their best. Perhaps, if the director had concentrated on the backstory of their friendship or relationship, it would add some sort of layer to the story. All we get is that Varalaxmi and her friends are raised in an orphanage. That�s your cue to feel sad for them and empathise with them. Maruthi Nagar Police Station suffers from predictability. Even the so-called twists and turns in the climax do not add up to the story because you are already exhausted by then.(more)

Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar film takes no time in becoming predictable

The story is very simple. Five friends, who grew up together in an orphanage become a close-knit family. They�re so close that every one of them is aware of the whereabouts of the other every single minute. When one among them ends up dead in a mysterious way one night, it leaves the other members of the family completely shattered. Hellbent on avenging the death of their dear friend, the band of friends come up with a plan to find the killer.(more)

A choppily written, patience-testing murder mystery

The expository-heavy dialogues are clich�d and uninspired, failing to deliver the sharp and witty exchanges expected in a whodunnit thriller. The performances, too, fail to elevate the underwritten characters. It�s just difficult to care for any of them in this whodunnit. Or, I-don�t-care-whodunnit.(more)

Enough twists and turns, but barely an impactful connect

While the film thrives on building emotional importance between the characters, they aren�t etched clearly enough. They are the foundation stone of this thriller but the building is still very shaky because dialogues are used flippantly without having any salient moments. The music does not overpower the narration, but the same cannot be said for the performances that are just overkill. In such a character-driven film when the film fails to have a neat arc for the principal characters, and give them enough to do, then we are just left with a film with a lot of promise that is buried under the floor of the police station.(more)
