Good movie.

When we first meet Mithran( Jayam Ravi), he’s just the best cop ever. He knows exactly where to be, what to do, whom to shadow — it’s like he can do no wrong. And then he meets his match in Siddharth Abhimanyu( Arvind Swami, underplaying nicely) . Siddharth gets a terrific introduction. I’m not talking about one of those scenes where the villain’s face is revealed after a bullet goes off and he brings the gun down. The film begins with his birth. He’s that mythic.
Had this been myth, his birth would have been accompanied by the cries of vultures. Here, a blaring siren tells us he’s bad news. But Siddharth isn’t your usual teeth-gnashing villain. He’s a cool customer. He’s suave. He wears great jackets. He’s got a girlfriend from the fashion industry. He uses words like ‘incorrigible’. He even speaks French. He’s the kind of villain you’d get from a screenplay discussion session between Mani Ratnam and Gautham Menon.
