Review   

The movie lives up to the tag of Horror-thriller. Few spooky scenes are hair-rising and gripping. The suspense is slowly diffused at the end, keeping the audience guessing who, why, and how. A little more care in editing excluding certain scenes and uncanny characters would have made it a nail-biting thriller. Although the script and the direction did a splendid job with their debut, it would have been exceptional had they paid little more attention to these details.    

Arjun Das displayed superb acting skills in showcasing panic and vulnerability aspects. Vinod Kishan as blind boy Suryam was incredible in his meaty role.    

V Vighnarajan has written and directed the movie. The plot and twists are exceptional, just the case that the movie is a bit lengthy and the sub-plots weary the viewer. The background music has been exceptional from Pradeep. Cinematography is also great where they begin the show with a B&W scene and connect it with the present-day scene in colors.  

Verdict   

A good horror-suspense-thriller, definitely watchable in leisure.
