Plot

Kavya and her husband, Anoop, are working in the same company as game developers. Mask Mayhem by Anoop is a hit, and Kavya’s Honey Ruin was also received well by the gamers. For her successful game, Kavya receives an award.  However, Kavya faces criticism on social media that she is undeserving, and she is popular only because of her husband, Anoop. On the night of winning the award, she was harassed by two men. She was seen lying unconscious on the beach, losing her trophy and purse. Bhanumathy, a police officer, was assigned to investigate this case. Will she be able to find out the criminals and the reason for Kavya’s condition?

Star Performance

Shraddha excelled in emotional scenes and delivered a good performance. Santhosh Prathap is impressive in his role as a supporting husband. Chandini Tamilarasan is good in her role. Yet, she should’ve inserted something special to make her role more effective than it is now. The rest of the cast have done what was asked of them.

Analysis

The story is interesting, but the execution falters. The screenplay should’ve been better to make it more interesting. Anoop’s character is not complete, and it is one-dimensional. The twist is predictable. If the screenplay had been better, it would’ve taken the story to the next level. The visuals are good, and the editing is decent. Simon’s BGM is good, and it elevates certain sequences well.

What’s There?

• The performances are decent

What’s Not There?

• The screenplay is weak

Verdict

Despite the predictable twist, the series looks decent for the performances. If you love watching crime thrillers, you can try this!
