Before watching this movie , I have watched it's "Teasers" and some interviews of Karthick Naren ( Director of this film ) and also I have watched Dhuruvangal pathinaaru, his previous film. After doing all this, I kept my expectations higher.
And the movie begins with an action scene in some multi storey building, as the action sequence builds up over a staircase , the camera angle changes to Top angle and moves downwards through the gap between steps and also the camera simultaneously rotates.... OK all I want to say is that it gives us some sort of illusion. Keeping this in my mind, I'm going with the flow of the film. And our protagonist is Aryan (Arun Vijay) working under the Narcotics control Bureau struggles to catch the head of the drug dealer's network after trying so many methods to find him, but these are all shown to us in a manner of some voice overs and some comic relief scenes. He is also in a relationship with his fellow teammate Sathya (Priya Bhavani Shankar). And the film also has very many buildups for the Antagonist(FOR CHAPTER 1) named DK(Prasanna) and also we get an introduction scene for DK same as the introduction scene for the Protagonist. As the story folds up Aryan loses two of his persons who knows the details of DK and one of the dead leaves the total details of DK. With the help of these details and some fieldwork of Aryan and his teammates, whether they are able to catch DK ??? This is the plot and that has a major twist at the climax.
After watching the film,I had a different scenario which had never happened before...because, the film seems to be very short but it is elongated. What I want to say is that the film has a story which could be told within half time of its screenplay but it is elongated to get their predetermined run time or they wanted to make it as a "Two or multi chapter film". Although it has a very little story to tell us ,they can at least add some more scenes about the failures faced by Aryan in search of DK, instead of making a movie which takes place in a 5 days screenplay pattern. Or they could have made some more cat and mouse game between those two main characters before reaching climax which would have satisfied their motive of creating sequels of movies or may be a "Franchise" (the director's view on this film) and also satisfied us. We can wish anything, but what we got is a simple story OR Half story of an "unknown film" which is elongated by with numerous glorification scenes of the two main characters and by a series of action set pieces with "ultra slow motion".
After these thoughts, I thought that the "illusion shot" (as I pre-mentioned at the beginning of the review) meant to be the illusion of the "Short film being projected as a Feature film" OR it may indicate the illusion experienced by the protagonist ( at the climax), btw who knows :-)
I would not say it is a very bad film, but it could be made better by improving the writing area of the film. The film also had many well shot closeups and also closeups on action sequences which is not that good. Colour gradients are used well to indicate the intense situations and the difference between the two main characters. While talking about background score which is good and special mention about the cow-boy kinda theme music during the revelation of the character of Aryan.
And so finally, I may or may not be wrong about my views of the film. But I would not say it is a bad film before it's sequels get released.
