Director : Bejoy Nambiar

Starring : Vijay Sethupathi, Revathy and Prakash Raj

Now that's a star cast full of of powerhouse performers. Nambiar has grown a lot. I have criticised him a lot before for him preferring style over substance in most films. This film was a thrilling drama full of emotions and tension. The short was structured and filmed like a dark thriller but it turned out to be a genius philosophical drama. The actors gave haunting performances. Dialogues were scant. The actors talked through their expressions. Specially the lead duo of Vijay Sethupathi and Revathy. Both gave great performances. Prakash Raj owned the scenes he was present in. Forgiving is the moral Nambiar and Mani Sir teach through this brilliant story. The cinematography, lighting etc were full of thrill and had made a dark, suffocating atmosphere throughout the film. (8.5/10)
