With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and anyone who loves a strong drama. Nobody is quite who they seem.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 2 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Tamil, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A gentle girl born and brought up amidst the ever growing eco-social-consumeristic environment finds it difficult to fit in the society. She decides to take it hard on the people.
