An Electronics Technician Tracking Down a Serial Killer
27 March 2021
This film revolves around a low-level employee for the Intelligence Bureau named "Shiva" (Mahesh Babu) whose job consists of monitoring private telephone conversations between everyday people to try to prevent crimes if he can. To help him accomplish this he has developed a software application that keys in to certain words or phrases and then he dispatches one of his contacts to the potential crime scene to intervene if necessary thereby stopping a crime before it can be committed. The beauty of it is that his superiors have no idea of what he is actually doing as it's all off the record. His satisfaction in helping others, however, is put to the test when he sends one of his colleagues to a destination where a serial killer by the name of "Sudalai" (S. J. Suryah) is secretly hiding and both his friend and the innocent person he was hoping to help are brutally murdered. From that point on he makes it his mission to track down this murderer before he can kill any more people. What he doesn't know is just how clever this maniac is. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a good action film for the most part but it struggled somewhat with the romantic element between Shiva and "Charlie" (Rakul Preet Singh). Likewise, the ending also got a bit out of hand as well. Even so, despite these faults I enjoyed this film and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
