PERFORMANCE
 
The story revolves around few characters, but the script made sure we don’t get bored seeing only five faces on screen. Lakshmi Priya has given a noticeable performance. Cinematography and Art Direction gives the best boosts to the film. Everything sounds and seems real, thanks to Mukesh.G and Senthil Raghavan. A better screenplay could have helped the movie reach a bigger success.
 
The film moves at a slow, deliberate pace, keeping you involved with the characters and their predicament throughout. The director must be appreciated for the twist in the climax. While the music is just okay and the sound design, which is an integral part of the horror thriller too is above average.
