Analysis
The film definitely sets the premise of a suspense thriller. The plot seems a bit stretched. The sci-fi film also shows a romantic story between Priya and Vikas and the interest of the viewers were piqued in the second half. What will leave the viewers on the edge of their seats is the twist that someone might kill the three friends. In the second half of the plot, the twists will gradually unravel. Most of the film has been shot at a single location and has minimal characters, which will keep the viewers engaged with only those whom they see on the screen.
GK Vikas and Shanthi portrayed themselves as a lovely couple and the film was sprinkled with some humorous elements here and there. The characters acted as per the scope of their roles. While the cinematography could have been more crisp, the story is well-paced. The melodious songs also add to the film-watching experience. As a debut director, Pradeep Allu delivered a good sci-fi film on a limited budget.
