Detailed Review
Arun Vijay reunites with his childhood friend Sidhi Idnani after many years and wishes to marry her. However, driven by greed, Sidhi Idnani asks him to kill a wealthy man who looks exactly like him (also played by Arun Vijay) and take his place. Tempted by a life of riches, the poor Arun Vijay murders his rich lookalike and assumes his identity. This decision leads to several complications. How does Arun Vijay deal with the problems caused by this identity swap? The film is presented as an action thriller by director Kris Thirukumaran.
Arun Vijay delivers his usual performance and shines especially in the action sequences while playing a dual role. Sidhi Idnani’s performance as a money-hungry character is decent. Harish Peradi and John Vijay appear as the antagonists, though John Vijay’s performance feels overly exaggerated. Dijo Jose Antony’s cinematography is neat and visually appealing, while Sam C.S.’s songs and background score work well.
Though the core idea suits the thriller genre, the screenplay falters at places. Despite having plenty of fight sequences, the lack of a strong connecting screenplay makes them feel scattered. The excessive build-up scenes and logical loopholes reduce the overall impact. Action lovers may give it a one-time watch.
Overall: Retta Thala – Action, and only action.
