One Liner

A police officer and his 10-year-old child become trapped within a building, and their daring escape while being pursued by the enemy is the subject of this story.

Detailed Plot

With the assistance of a more senior officer, a sincere police constable who is on suspension returns to work. He didn’t realize, however, that his sincerity toward the latter would endanger his life. Following the senior cop’s order, he beats a criminal black and blue, earning him a place in the criminal’s bad book. To kill the policeman on a tall structure, the lethal mobster enlists the help of hundreds of his goons. The middle-class cop, however, devises a strategy that makes it impossible for the goons to confront him. Murali Krishna’s family is safe thanks to what?

Artistes’ Performances

Vishal has convincingly played the part of Murali Krishna. He presents himself as a loyal family man and a responsible police officer. Vishal deserves to be commended for his commitment to the combat scenes. In the action sequences, he is very intense. The wife’s role is played by Sunaina. She is content with the performance and has a good appearance. In a cameo-like role, Prabhu appears and does alright. As Veera, the antagonist, Ramana is a natural.

Direction / Technical Side

The plot is clear-cut and simple to predict. However, the show’s management style by newcomer A Vinoth Kumar is quite entertaining. The film’s middle act’s plodding sections are tiresome, even if it’s admirable that the director and star Vishal keep the narrative in the forefront rather than go off into duets and item numbers. Fans of action movies will enjoy Laththi’s high points because the movie’s second half has some intriguing stunt work. Only a vicious enemy will draw attention away from the protagonist. The filmmaker should pay closer attention to this area. Scenes involving the bad guys are forgettable. The plot is divided into several strands, including a rape case, a father-son relationship, a police drama, politics, retaliation, etc. Despite the director’s efforts to weave several threads into a single narrative. It seems like they are all the same and don’t give anything fresh.

One of the main problems with the story is the second half’s 45-minute stunt sequence. It’s far too drawn out and prevents us from understanding the protagonist’s anguish. The background score by Yuvan Shankar Raja is unexpectedly subpar. Despite the partially entertaining narrative, Peter Hein’s stunt choreography is impressive.

Major Plus Points ;

  • Vishal’s Sincere Acting
  • Peter Hein’s Stunt Choreography

Verdict ; Despite the fact that the writer-director separated the story into many subplots, such as a rape case, a father-son relationship, a police drama, politics, retaliation, etc. They appear to be all similar and don’t offer the audience anything new. The only thing that can be praised overall is Vishal’s sincere performance.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
