Gist of the Story

In search of the cause of his father’s passing, a man who is partially blind sets off on a journey. Will he be able to uncover the riddle and overcome the obstacles?

Detailed Plot

Following a childhood injury, Aravind (Vikram Prabhu) is partially low-light blind. He has a software business that assists in preventing illicit hacking and cyber threats against sensitive data. A wedding planner named Uthra (Vani Bhojan), who assists in planning his sister’s wedding, comes to meet Arvind. They begin to get along well and even declare their love for one another. When a group kills Arvind’s father, who was his primary source of support, things take a turn. Now he sets out on a perilous quest to discover the cause of his father’s death and unearths some disturbing facts involving many powerful people, including Jeevan, who was formerly the right hand of a powerful politician. Will Aravind be able to resist them despite his health problems or will he surrender to them?

Artistes’ Performances

Another strong performance comes from Vikram Prabhu in the movie. The scenes that utilise this notion are good to see, and the actor tries his best to portray a man with vision impairment. His performance in the stunt scenes was excellent. With his outstanding performance, Vikram Prabhu carried the entire film on his shoulders. Vani Bhojan just has a little amount of screenspace and not much to accomplish. In his performance as a young boy, Vela Ramamoorthy is outstanding. Dhananjaya does an excellent job portraying him as the antagonist. The remaining cast members have likewise performed to expectations.

Direction / Technical Side

The intriguing idea is intertwined with familial components and an action-packed atmosphere where the main character encounters gangsters. It follows the typical vengeance thriller plot line, yet it is able to keep the audience’s attention for the majority of the time. The opening of the movie does not explicitly depict the protagonist’s sight impairment. He only begins to reveal his personality to us after a few scenes. The screenplay is a thriller movie’s greatest asset. However, the talks themselves—beyond the predictable screenplay—were a major drawback. While initially quite entertaining, the placement of the finale moment turns out to be absurd. After a promising beginning that gives us hope for an explosive thriller, the movie begins to falter a half-hour in. The suspense is increased by Sagar’s music, and the photography is also excellent. Sridhar’s camerawork is particularly remarkable in sequences where darkness and light need to be depicted in various tones. One of the film’s highlights is the amazing stunt choreography by Dinesh Kasi.

Verdict; The film has a main character who encounters gangsters and follows a vengeance thriller narrative with familial themes and an action-packed atmosphere. Despite a promising beginning, the movie falters after the first half. The predictable screenplay is the major drawback.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
