After watching Ratsasan, Vikram Vedha, Theeran, Thani Oruvan, Thadam, Kaithi, Maayavan, Asuran, Vada Chennai, Jiganthara and many more such gems from Tamil Cinema Industry I somehow landed up with this movie and suddenly I had a feeling of break-up after being in a relationship with Tamil cinema. What a shame in the name of Thriller.

Recently I watched Anurag Kashyap's interview with Vetri Maran Sir and his love for Tamil cinema. I love his movies in hindi cinema as well so my expectations were high from Imaikka Nodigal. Except Anurag's presence on screen everything in this movie intolerant.

Why 1 star? Only for Anurag and his performance.

Why it should be delisted as thriller from Tamil Cinema? 1. Almost 3 hour in length, it bores you to the core. None of the elements make you hold to your seat. 2. Irritating and prolonged romance elements which doesn't add value. (Remember even Theeran has emotional elements but a master piece cinema as a whole). I was just getting angry whenever the romantic characters appered on screen. 3. The lead actress fails to impress (Remember once she added magic to her role in Thani Oruvan) 4. Poor poor poor storyline and twists. I still don't want believe it's Tamil cinema. Even VSPs small chameo doesn't work but only irritates. 5. Last but not least.. and most irritating part of movie is Arjun character. Performance as well as character arc. Pathetic. Just remove the character.

By the way this is my first review on Tamil movie. I was forced to write review because I still feel the pain of break up.

I have not lost hopes. I know Tamil industry is at least 10-20 years ahead than any film industry in India and especially when it comes to thriller genre. But this one is just lemon on sweet.

It was getting so boring that I stopped before midway, and read the whole story on Wikipedia.

Things I didn't like in this movie:

1) They have to choose in between making a Thriller, or a Romantic movie. Intermingling both of them creates an unnecessary incongruence.

2) Not only it's too lengthy, but there is hardly any cohesion in between these two themes. You go from chasing a serial killer to love story to chasing again then back to lovey dovey, and it felt too much BS to take in.

3) If you want to create a fictitious police division acting on nabbing a serial killer, you could have had made it a little bit more sophisticated. The actions of CBI Anjali were just too stupid for movie-watchers like myself to think of this as a serious cat-and-mouse game.

Excellent Movie. Everybody in the movie acted very well.in the movie. Anurag Kashyap acting was main highlight in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie was also very good. The movie was so interesting and thrilling. But at 1st half in the movie there was some unwanted scenes. In 2nd half the movie was excellent. The movie has many twists and turns. Vijay Sethupathi also acted very well in the movie. This movie is one of the best movie of 2018.
