Featured review
Class Act
At a time when cliched tamil/indian movies are being made, one could only Kamal Hassan to come up with something innovative and striking!
What is most exciting is the narrative set-up from two angles, two very different versions of the same story, a crime committed, 24 murders in a village in Tamil Nadu (kamal hassan and pasupathy). The underlying tension throughout this morbid tale is effective. In fact very difficult to make out who is good and evil, till the very end. Fantastic Characterization's.
Excellent photography, background score. Direction by Kamal is first rate, with an interesting screen play.
Regarding performances, pasupathy steals the show, along with Rohini. Abhirami as the main female lead is impressive. Kamal, the actor is not at his best, but makes up enough with his direction.
It falls short of a great movie on account of a poor climax and excessive violence. Not a great movie, but definitely a good one.
