As an undercover police officer, Atharvaa alerts the authorities to crimes that take place in the city. Atharvaa alerts the police after the antagonist in this story abducts 20 children. Atharvaa and his family are hence the villain’s primary goals. Did Atharvaa manage to save his family and the kids? What is the relationship that Atharvaa has with the kids? Why do the villains target children, and who are they? The remainder of the tale in the movie Trigger is the answer to these queries.
As a cop, Atharvaa gives a strong performance and gets all A’s for action. Atharvaa is one of the few heroes who can successfully do action sequences with panache and flair. He has also demonstrated his emotional side to a respectable extent.
The actress playing the lead, Tanya Ravichandran, is excellent. The most congenial element of her character is that it is integral to the plot and that the love subplot is not sacrificed for it. Arun Pandian, who plays a retired police officer, performs respectably in his role according to his age. Aranthangi Nisha, Anbu Thasan, and Munishkanth are all suitable for their parts.
The theme chosen by Trigger, which is one that is prevalent in the modern world, is child trafficking. However, Sam Anton’s compelling internal affairs aspect amplifies the film’s intrigue level and keeps us watching for the most of the first act. The director further assures emotional connection by making the hero’s quest a personal one as well.
The action moments in the movie have been choreographed in an extremely exciting way, and the presentation of the movie is stylish. Trigger distinguishes itself from other action dramas mostly through its aesthetic presentation. The movie doesn’t have many dull moments, but I didn’t like some of the tropes and some of the situations that made no sense. The main flaw with Trigger is its convenient writing, which disregards logic.
The cinematography by Krishnan Vasant is excellent. The technical crew deserves a lot of credit for the overall excellent output. Ghibran’s music does a great job at keeping the tone consistent, especially in the second half.
Atharvaa’s Trigger faces a conundrum where it must decide between becoming a lighthearted actioner and a serious suspense drama. Trigger has its moments even though the writing and execution aren’t particularly innovative. The film has been presented by the filmmaker in a fun way that makes it enjoyable to watch.
