I was blown away by the execution of this movie, It started out kind of routine with the main character and his mundane life being shown. However there is more than meets the eye to this protagonist. The movie masterfully introduces the main character as a movie buff who aspires to become a director and one of his primary ideas is to make a film on a serial killer. In that vein, he is not supported by his family, namely his brother in law who pushes him to become a police officer to escape his joblessness. He carries the meticulous planning of his film idea into his job as it so happens that there is also a killer on the loose who nobody seems to have the faintest idea of how to catch him/her. In the process of figuring out who and why they are killing young girls, the movie also masterfully shows us the way by which the protagonist is stymied in his investigation, in a sort of parallel to how he was prevented from pursuing his passion for filmmaking. At the same time, the director and writer take us on a rollercoaster ride with twists and turns which are plotted and executed brilliantly, keeping us the audience at the edge of our toes and biting our nails. There is not much gore in this movie but the way by which the director and writer handled the relationships between characters and the emotions in the movie, evoked sympathy in the characters that are in the midst of danger, The prime example of this is when certain characters come in contact with the killer and us as a the audience does not want them to die and wants the main protagonist to get there in the nick of time pulled of me. Few movies in that regard have done that for me. Furthermore, the end of the second half is bit prolonged and after building up so much tension the director includes an unnecessary fight which could have been removed. This is the only problem with the movie. Lastly, hats off have to be given to the actors and the music director for putting in their effort to elevate this movie to another level. (In particular, the actor who plays the main character who carries the whole movie on his shoulders and balances his emotion in each scene very effortlessly)

All in all, I was captivated by this movie and I hope to see more of this dirirectors work in the future.
