Plot

Sooraj is an aspiring actor who is accused of interfering with the scripts. To strengthen his career, he takes up the real-life story of an encounter specialist, Arun. After getting deep into the role, he realizes that the character he undertook is not the actual character, as he was told. Arun was given a target to finish the gangster, Aadhinaadhan, who started his gangster life at the age of 16. Right from 16, he has taken the lives of 40 people. Soon, he comes to know that Aadhi is his ex-lover Shanthi’s husband. Was Arun able to encounter Aadhinaadhan? Will this film help Sooraj to strengthen his acting career?

Star Performance

Kanna Ravi is good in his role. His acting style has improved a lot from his previous projects. Sanjeev is okay in his role. Vinusha and Sravanitha did what was required of them.

Analysis

The series starts on a promising note but fails to sustain. Aadhinaadhan is an important character in the story. But his role was not established well. Most of the characters are shown in a single dimension. Aadhinaadhan is a killer, but he is hailed by many. This angle is not shown with a proper explanation. The pace is slow, testing the patience in certain sequences. The actors are the biggest plus in this series. The characterization and the execution are weak. The climax, which was supposed to be gripping, does not get to the point as we expect.

What’s There?

• The performances of the stars are good
• A few scenes are filmed with a better perception

What’s Not There?

• The screenplay should have been better
• The characters are not written with enough depth
• The climax misses the needed aggression

Verdict

Despite the drawbacks, the series can be watched once for the performances.
