Read the full reviewThe script in this film is a big let-down. The first half of the film is really trying on the audience because it focuses heavily on the Vishal-Kajal romance which is extremely insipid and badly written.
Read the full reviewVijay's film is a visual treat, but the screenplay is disappointing...Watch the film if you have nothing better to do this long weekend!

Read the full reviewAs far as the story goes, it is not gripping enough to be termed a crime thriller. There are not too many twists and the storyline is weak. It doesn't seem plausible that the protagonist, a librarian, is otherwise like a ninja!
Read the full reviewThe Tamil remake is poorly made in contrast— the screenplay doesn't hold your interest, some of the actors' performances are mechanical and you don't connect to the characters. The film is like a soda pop gone flat.

Read the full reviewDirector Anuraj Manohar was inspired by this true story and wrote Narivetta (Leopard Hunt), which depicts the power play between police and politics. Tovino Thomas superbly helms this action drama.
