Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved The Silence of the Lambs or Psycho, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense and unsettling, gritty.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 50 min.
  • It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
