This review may contain spoilers.

Sshivada is a luckiest Tamil actress in this recent years since she bagged a most crucial & meaty role. The icing on the cake is she brilliantly & ruthlessly performed it. She deserves compliments, accolades & credits for it. Sshivada already proved her acting talent in "Nedunchaalai" & "Zero", thus this is easily another feather in her cap. As audience, we hardly come across Tamil actress who carried significant role on their shoulders. Sshivada has all the potential to grab the special place as a good actress soon if she consistently acting in this type of vital roles.

"Thandhiraa" song need special mention here, S.N. Anuradha's lyrics beautifully summarize the Vasundara character.

Lyrics excerpts:
"Adiye nee kalavaani kutti kaattaeri
kannaadi dhegathil kaattaaru nee

Amul baby makeup-il Anakonda nee

Azhagaana sadhigaari adangaa pidaari
Sidharaamal pandhaadum siru marmam nee

Barbie doll getup-il pachchondhi nee

Azhagaana abaththae ival thaane vilagu"

Abishek Joseph George - I like his body language, expressions, performance as a blind man. It's totally apt, good & brilliant.

Sshivada & Abishek Joseph George easily stole the limelight with their performances. Outshines better than the two lead roles (Kalaiyarasan & Janani Iyer).

Bala Saravanan's entry initially makes me feel like this film lost it's track since comical episodes seems appear nowhere in a serious subject. I need to admit that the comical portions was relief and it's not spoil the core subject of this film & it's good too.

If you like C. V. Kumar's productions (Thirukumaran Entertainment) or looking for a different taste of thriller then update your watchlist & do watch.

I believe this film worth your time & money...!

At least watch it for the hero of the film Sshivada. Wait hmmm I said hero..? Yes it is, she is hero of this subject.

Do watch it since we hardly come across female oriented subjects, last was "Irudhi Suttru & now maybe "Adhe Kangal".
