Summary:

Going into the movie, I knew it was some sort of a violent thriller from all the previews.  Coming out of the movie, I thought it was a pretty well put together movie with couple of strong performances that kept me interested throughout (for the most part).

The director/writer Roopesh Peethambaran pulls an artistic stunt and gives you the climax in the first part of the movie.  While this is a nice twist, parts of the second half was a bit weak.  Especially the attempt at some comedy in the middle. To the movies credit, it does finish strong.  Watching the climax (at the beginning of the movie), I questioned many of the predictable turns the movie was taking and started writing the movie off.  I was pleasently surprised and let's just say, the story is well thought out.

Apart from Dulquer Salmaan and Sreenivasaan, I hardly recognized anyone (Couple more veterans in small roles but that's really about it).  That being said, the movie is well cast with individuals that fit the character and deliver.

Noteworthy Performances:

Dulquer Salmaan:

He is certainly delivering on his movies.  This is another stellar performance from the young Dulquer Salmaan.

Sreenivasan:

I think when people see his name in a movie, it's a given that he will do a great job.  It's no different here.
