Actors’ performance:
It is known that Naveen Chandra (Arvind), who played the protagonist in Vijetham, has done some police roles in the past. However, Naveen Chandra appears in a separate characterization, showing a great difference from those roles. Also, his acting along with a serious look, creating an intensity, captivated the audience with a very balanced performance. Also, Shashank (Ranjith Kumar), who played another police officer in the film, did justice to the police role given to him and played a good investigation officer very well. Also, Aadukalam Naren (Chandrasekhar) played the role of the City Police Commissioner in the film and created a good impact even though he appeared on screen for a short time. Rhea Hari (Sam), who played the heroine in the film, was not limited to just a small amount of screen time, but created a good impression by acting as if she had a good role in the story and that role was appropriate. Also, the roles of Abhirami, Kireeti, and Ravi Varma in the film created good emotions with Tamanna in a way that aroused more interest. Also, Dilipan (Manohar) played a good role as an Essayist in the film. Also, the child artists who acted in the film especially acted very well as befitting their roles and sent the audience away. Other actors added more strength to the film by acting in their respective roles.
Technical Analysis:
In genre films like crime suspense thrillers, if the screenplay is very good first, the film will not be successful. However, it is very clear what precautions director Lokesh has taken regarding the screenplay of this film. Also, the background music also takes the suspense forward just as strongly. It must be said that the director has achieved good success in the matters of story, screenplay and seed. Every scene was taken forward in a way that engaged the audience. Also, a good emotion was shown throughout the film. It must be said that the director was successful in showing so much emotion that the audience was moved to tears in some scenes. Especially since there are many scenes that take place at night, it is clear that he took care of every little thing and went ahead. Also, the songs carried good emotion. It is clear that some buildings and old bungalows were shot for natural locations. Good care was taken in technical matters like coloring, DI, and EFX. The production values are amazing.
Analysis:
Since it is a crime suspense zone, it is very natural for the audience to watch the film with the mindset that they have to find something for themselves. But with a twist and emotion everywhere in the film, the audience is completely immersed in this film. Making such a film based on so many twins is an experiment. However, with such an experimental film being accepted and brought forward by a hero like Naveen Chandra, the audience gets more newness. However, to maintain that trust, Naveen Chandra has completely carried the suspense with this film, surprising the audience with twists and turns from interval to free climax.
