Detailed Plot
In the film, Arun Vijay plays the main character, who goes to London to make sure his daughter Iyal has the operation she needs. But when a bunch of criminals steal his money and he confronts them, his vacation takes an unexpected turn. Sadly, he inadvertently knocks down a policeman in the process, and he is taken into custody. He is kept in captivity by the Jail Superintendent, who is portrayed by Amy Jackson. A breach into the prison’s security system gives terrorists and other convicts the ability to plot their escape, which leads to chaos. Will the main character be able to foil their schemes? Will he see his daughter again and get her operation done successfully? The main focus of the narrative is these queries.
Artistes’ Performances
The film offers Arun Vijay a lot of major moments to deal with, and he has once again given an amazing and powerful portrayal in the part of the skilled parent. The performer carries the movie the entire time and excels in the action scenes. Once again, baby Iyal is adorable and full of life. Amy Jackson executes her action scenes really well, and Nimisha Sajayan is a good match. The roles of the other members of the cast are rather small.
Direction / Technical Side
Known for his excellent filmmaking, director Vijay tries to do the same with this one. The plot itself, meanwhile, is not without flaws. The storyline is rather standard and foreseeable. It appears that in an effort to appease the audience, the crew counted on action scenes to make up for any narrative flaws. Mission Chapter 1 has a number of skillfully chosen, noteworthy, although generally extravagant, action scenes that brilliantly enhance the main character, Arun Vijay. Additionally beneficial to the actor’s ability to effectively translate these moments on-screen is his austere screen appearance. He faces Bharat Bopanna’s opponent, who undoubtedly possesses the dominant physically required for the part, but most of the time, the role merely requires him to be ferociously stare at camera.
Known for basing his storylines on familial and emotional ties, director Vijay does not successfully depict the same between Guna and Sana. Additionally useless are the discussions. Mission: Chapter 1 presents an intriguing idea of a stranger in a new nation and may have a lot of potential. On paper, it could sound intriguing, however let’s assume that the launch pad won’t be sufficient to complete this mission. A boring beginning and even duller conclusion render the mission unfinished.
Verdict;
All things considered, even if the plot is known, the movie keeps viewers interested with its gripping action scenes. The movie picks up steam a few minutes into it and remains largely captivating until the intermission. But the second half starts to feel a touch clichéd and predictable.
