A Decently Engaging Thriller!
Might not be an edge-of-the-seat flick, yet it has ample interesting elements to hold throughout. The emotions are underwhelming, but the reasoning is strong enough.(more)

Suspense and tension in a limited space
When the backstory finally drops, it doesn�t have much weight. It�s a simple revenge tale that could have been cleverly woven into the proceedings. The info dump feels like a missed opportunity for some smart storytelling. Despite these bumps, Sattam En Kayil is a solid thriller and a good way to kill a couple of hours.(more)

A spectacular second half makes up for a weak start
attam En Kaiyil begins on an interesting note, with an opening scene that is neither about the hero nor the villain. However, it is about a brutal and sadistic cop. This scene is followed by a regular whodunnit routine involving a murder and a hit-and-run, which are interconnected. Gowtham (Sathish), who is held for a drunk-and-drive case, is hiding a bigger mystery that he is not willing to disclose. The rest of the film is about Gowtham's secret and how it will change everything upside down.(more)
