Plot

Bhimarasu is a hostel warden. Major Arulvarman is a retired army officer who runs a YouTube channel that deals with crime-based stories. After the suicide of his niece, Arulvarman started probing into the case personally. He finds shocking porn videos on his niece's mobile phone that caused her death. Soon, he finds some shocking deaths in the city, and the murder investigation is pointing toward Bhimarasu. Is Bhimarasu involved in the murders? If so, what is the reason? The rest of the film deals with it.

Star Performances

Selvaraghavan has tried his best. However, in some places, his expressions could be more satisfactory. Natty did his best, and Radha Ravi did the given job well.

Analysis

Mohan G's films carry some social message, and this film is no exception to that. The film's first half is okayish, but the second half is not impressive due to weak writing. The scenes are very much predictable. Some messages in the film look too preachy, and some are welcomed. Selvaraghavan hasn't shown many expressions, and the same is followed for this role. Yet, he did a good job in some places. The cinematography is good, and it helped the script in elevating some scenes. The BGM is neat and helps the emotional scenes get the hype.

What's There?

  • Decent performances by the lead actors
  • The cinematography and music are good

What's Not There?

  • Predictable scenes and the script needed a better writing
  • Some preachy messages

Verdict

The film comes with some preachy messages that could've been avoided. If you are a fan of Mohan G's films and also interested in watching social message concept movies, you can try this film once!
