![]() ![]() ![]() You can replay it any number of times you want and it will still leave you baffled, though one's sense of relief that the serial killer has been stopped will overcome any momentary confusion. The action becomes so dizzying that you won't be able to figure out how the sub-inspector dealt a final blow to the killer with an iron rod. The relentless pace in the latter part of the movie is supported by a tension filled musical score that keeps one's nerves on edge, and even if you've seen dozens of crime movies that hinge on a suspenseful climax, this film will set those apart with a stylistic portrayal of the serial killer as a skilled magician using his talent to confound Arun in his attempt to save a potential fifth victim. But even that clue leads to an unusual twist that you might see coming, later confirmed when it's revealed that the suspected murderer had a son with an aging disease that left him disfigured and the brunt of cruel derision during his youth. ![]() By chance, Meera had a recording device in her hearing aid to help her with her speech, and it provides a clue to the type of music associated with the serial killer. The clever screenwriting reaches a level of complexity when it reveals a circumstance behind the third missing murder victim named Meera. That's when Arun rises to the occasion and uses his extensive background of studying vicious crimes to solve a mystery that's continually thwarted by an overbearing police captain (Suzane George) who almost never sees things his way.

He gets in trouble with his brother-in-law for forging his niece Ammu's (Abhirami) report card, and in an effort to save face with Annu's teacher (Amala Paul), pays for the objects her mute daughter shoplifted at a neighborhood store. The principal character, Arun Kumar (Vishnu Vishal), is trying to negotiate a film deal as an assistant director, and suddenly has to do an about face and accept a position as a sub-inspector with the local police. This is a movie you'll have to stick with beyond the first twenty minutes or so because the opening seems very disjointed. Reviewed by classicsoncall 10 / 10 "Completely a psycho!" ![]()
