Honestly I had no expectations when I was about to watch this movie. After watching, I was rather not disappointed with it.

Cop stories are an old affair as far as Kollywood is concerned. This is yet another sober take on a cop's life. The story is all about ASP Muthukumar played by Nandha who had taken the hard route to the top and serves as an upright police officer in Vellore district. The rest is about how he manages to overcome the challenges posed by his foes.

Both the strength and weakness of the movie is its soberness. Also there is an inherent weakness in the way the scenes were shot. Every scene was as plain as a pikestaff with hardly any twists or turns. At times we feel that the movie moves with a steady pace and at times it lags big time. On the whole, we can feel the bewilderment in the script.

Nandha, who seriously wants to prove that he is an actor of substance with a hit has given his best shot. Though his performance cannot be called flamboyant, it is a neat and power packed one.

Poorna, as his love interest had very little to do on screen, but seemed to suffice the cause.

Azhagam Perumal, as the antagonist had a role which was cut to shape and fitted it to tee.

Santhanam's comedy was sadly below average, which raised hardly any laughter.

Editing had helped the movie to a large extent with a lighting fast first half, but sadly sagged during the latter.

Cinematography was tidy and there is nothing special which can be mentioned with regard to it.

Songs by Sundar C Babu was below average, but he has done a great job with the BGM. The subtle BGM augured well with the subtle narration.

On the whole this one neither fits into the genre of a time pass entertainment nor a serious cop flick, but it certainly does not disappoint.

Verdict: Worth a watch, but not a must watch!

Rating: 2/5
