Plot

Ashok is the Chairman of an automobile company, which is one of the topmost companies of the nation. The company needs a perfect candidate for an important post, and hence, they call for an interview. 126 applications are received and 5 candidates, Ameer Sulthan, Raghav Isakkimuthu, Nitesh Gupta, S Pranav, and Latha Vijayakumar Reddy, are asked to appear for the final round of selection. Each one of them has a different backstory, and they are equally talented, too. Now, Ashok has to pick the best one out of these five.

Star Performance

Divya Bharathi, Kalaiyarasan, and Prasanna have given their best.

Analysis

Cheran has chosen a non-linear pattern of storytelling. The stories move front and back with all the protagonists, and not one by one. Though this may be interesting to hear, too many flashbacks kill us. The dialogues look amateurish in certain places. We may feel that for how many years we have to hear these kinds of dialogues. Many dialogues and some characters are not relatable. The editing with green screen spoils the performances in some scenes.

What’s There?

• A couple of performances

What’s Not There?

• Not all the characters are relatable
• The dialogues could’ve been penned better

Verdict

We expected something unique from Cheran, but he has given a preachy one! If you want to watch an old-fashioned series with some motivational dialogues, just watch it.
