Plot

Chandra, a mysterious woman, starts working in a café in Bangalore. She works on the night shift. Sunny and Venu, bachelors, live near her apartment. Sunny, who is impressed with Chandra, starts watching her routine, and observes her visitors. Did he change his perception? Who is Chandra? From where did she come?

Star Performance

Kalyani is cool as Chandra. She did the role with ease. Her action performances are impressive, and her body language is fine with the role. Naslen, Chandu, and Arun Kurian are perfect in their roles, delivering decent performances and adding strength to the film. Sandy plays an antagonist with the right mixture of expression.

Analysis

The story is interesting. Yet, Chandra’s character should’ve been written with some more depth. Although the action sequences are finely penned and she performed well, there are some scenes where her emotions are not executed well. We can’t say that she didn’t perform well, but the writing needed a grip in those places. Her costumes fit her well, showcasing us a cool character. Naslen’s role is finely penned. He peeps to know the secrets of Chandra with innocence. Sandy’s character is also penned perfectly, and we are unable to predict his move. However, there are no significant twists and turns, making the narrative predictable at times. The film is technically strong with excellent cinematography and music. The action blocks are elevated well with the BGM.

What’s There?

  • The performances are impressive
  • Good script for a woman-centric film
  • The visuals and BGM are good

What’s Not There?

  • There are no significant twists and turns

Verdict

For the good set of performers, the execution and impressive cameos, the film is watchable once!
