Plot

The village head’s daughter, Leela, has had asthma issues since childhood. In an argument with Leela, her father slaps her. The angry Leela gets herself locked in a room and commits suicide by hanging. Later, they do all the final rites and try to lift her mortal remains, which turns impossible. None of them is able to lift her body. What’s the reason behind this? Was her death suicide or murder? The rest of the story speaks about Leela’s life and death.

Star Performance

Roopa Koduvayur, who made her Tamil debut with Yamakaathaghi, has delivered a good performance. Though she performs as a dead body most of the time, she does her best. Geetha Kailasam, who impressed in Amaran, her previous outing, shines well in this thriller, too. Her performance adds strength to the story. Narendra Prasath and Haritha are okay with their performances. The director failed to get the needed performance from the rest of the stars.

Analysis

The story looks different. It takes an interesting turn when Leela’s dead body is unable to be lifted. When we expected that they’d make it unique, the makers disappointed us. The cinematography is amazing, especially the shots in the dark. The editing is quite decent. The production designer should be appreciated for the house set up after Leela’s death. The BGM is excellent, and it gels well with the story. But the songs are not very impressive. Very few actors performed well. If the director had made enough effort to get the work done from the actors, it might have reached better. The subplot should’ve been strongly told. When the love story is told, we can easily guess that the climax will deal with a particular issue. The scenes that had to push the film to a positive side miss it and become one of the logical loopholes.

What’s There?

  • Roopa and Geetha’s performances are good
  • The dialogues related to society are impressive

What’s Not There?

  • Except for a few performances, none of the others performed naturally
  • The romantic dialogues are not up to the mark
  • After a few scenes, the film becomes predictable

Verdict

Despite the biggest minus that the film is predictable, the performances of Geetha and Roopa are decent and provide a reason to watch.
