A flat, old-fashioned political potboiler lacking novelty
he final portions of heightened drama and emotions give us an inkling of what the makers were probably looking to achieve, but failed to reach for much of the runtime. The political drama is basic, with bumping off people being the most common political move, while the human drama had a lot of promise but remains underexplored. Nikhila Vimal gets a minor role where she can hardly make her presence felt, while Santhi Balachandran gets to essay a moderately impactful character. The filmmaker and the screenwriter seem to have taken the period setting of the film in the early 1990s a little too seriously, for the writing and making have a visible hangover of that era.(more)
