Synopsis

In an unusual situation , Velayudham sets out on a journey with Dhaya from Nagercoil to Tiruvannamalai-a journey that will alter both their lives in ways they never imagined. What unfolds becomes the heart of the story.

Moviegoers are saying

This crime thriller featuring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu starts strong with compelling character dynamics and refreshing performances, but loses steam with predictable plotting and pacing issues. While audiences praise the lead actors' chemistry and Vadivelu's surprising dramatic range, most agree the film's potential gets buried under familiar storytelling and sluggish second-half execution.

Vadivelu playing a vulnerable unpredictable character with subtle grounded humor was so refreshing to watch. His serious dramatic shade was impactful too. That Nethu Oruthara song remix was such a vibe man. Fafa plays typical Fafa with effortless ease. After a leisurely…

glad the director skipped showing child abuse scenes, avoiding the usual exploitation of trauma for cheap emotional payoff.

I wasn't expecting too much when I saw the name Sudheesh Sankar attached to it, but I still went in hoping to see the Fahadh and Vadivelu, two powerhouses of acting, present something memorable. And that is what I mostly got from the decent first half, building on the…

I was really enjoying the character progression and watching these two guys travel around. I wish the whole film was like that. I got annoyed once they started revealing true intentions, which ruined the story for me. Should have kept it simple.

A very predictable and familiar storyline. The attempt to bring in a different screenplay doesn’t really work out. It’s watchable mainly for Fahad and Vadivelu, who deliver strong performances, but beyond that, there isn’t much to take away.

The movie started off pretty well, but the pacing got slower and slower as it went on. It felt like they were just dragging things out to reach the interval. I thought the second half might improve, but honestly, it got really bad. Fafa and Vadivelu really tried to carry…
