Plot

Arjun and Meera are YouTubers, whose primary source of income is YouTube videos. When they lose their subscribers, they try to create new concept videos. However, they were unable to bring back the lost fame. Soon, their channel gets locked, which makes them suffer EMI issues. Meanwhile, they receive a call from an unidentified number. The person on the other end asks them to play a game inside their house in seven days. If they play the game, they’ll get enough money, says the unidentified person. They accept the challenge. What happened next? Did they get money? Were they cheated?

Star Performance

Kalaiyarasan’s performance is good in the first half. Priyalaya excels in her role. Besant Nagar Ravi plays the regular villain.

Analysis

The concept is okay. But if this concept is a part of a film, then it would’ve been interesting. A film with just two characters in most of the scenes makes us bored. Prem appears in a few scenes, and the same goes for Besant Nagar Ravi. Initially, it looked interesting, but the second half didn’t have any interesting twists to keep us engaged, except for the twist related to Prem. However, his backstory should’ve been crafted well. There are many logical loopholes that raise questions about the research done by the direction team.

What’s There?

  • Some good scenes in the first half and a twist in the second half
  • Decent performances

What’s Not There?

  • A lot of logical loopholes spoil the film’s genuine concept

Verdict

The director meant to say that instead of falling into the social media trap of publicity addiction, if people do something useful, it will bring them back a fruit-bearing tree for their future. If you don’t have any movies to watch, you can try this!
