Roshan Mathew, Shruthy Menon's gritty crime drama is far too generic

Even though the actors, including Roshan Mathew and Shruthy Menon, have performed their roles decently well, the lack of depth in their characters and the overall narrative prevent them from truly shining. Manikandan Ayyappa�s music, particularly the original songs, is the only impressive element in Uyir�s technical side.(more)

Roshan Mathew Can't Rescue This Weak Thriller

Even the staging feels clumsy in places. Take Ajeeb's conversation with a senior Mumbai police officer (Saiyami Kher in a cameo, reuniting with her Choked co-star), who orders three cups of tea despite both her guests declining, before casually justifying why she turns a blind eye to certain criminal activities because she's 'working the system'. Or the Dharavi shelter home sequence, where a bunch of hardened-looking criminals fold at the first sign of a threat. Yes, the finale still made my eyes well up a little (what to do, I am a very emotional man!), and the movie ends on a bittersweet note, but the feeling is momentary. Once you're out of the theatre, you realise you were on a very janky ride that only managed to stop right before it was completely derailed.(more)
