It was a surprise hit of kollywood. There was no popular face associated to the film and hence, no big expectations, but the word of mouth spread quickly and It ran in some theaters over Chennai for over a month. Distributors were ready to release it in Telugu as well. Quickly, the name spread all over facebook and possibly every single social media platform plus youtube and it gained nationwide acclaim. Currently, no. 7 in top rated Indian movies on IMDb. This is because a lot of Indians on IMDb are amateurs whose only job is to exaggerate everything related to Indian cinema. Ratsasan is an example of those films which are good, but overpraised.

Story is same as any other Psychological thriller. Feels a little inspired, but the treatment is good. There is an overuse of BGM. There is a different BGM used for almost every single situation ,some of them are really good though.

Like every other tamil film, the hero has a love interest, and he won her after beating some goons. Sounds familiar? The action scenes were lousy(as always). The cops may spent months and even years to find a clue about the killer, but our main villian can find anyone's address, threaten his/her family notice being noticed by anyone. Talking about logic? Moreover, it was edge of a seat kind of thriller( watch Theeran Adhigaram Ondru to know what it means). The length is surely a problem.

Besides these obvious flaws, I can say Ghibran did a brilliant job as composer ,his sountrack enhances the feel of the film, without it, it would be boring.

I can say the film didn't dissapoint me, it's reviewers did.
