REVIEWS:
There, directed by Harikumar, isn’t perfect in terms of production and plot, but it is a captivating, impactful story that holds our attention with a strong load of emotions.
The story of Durai, a man who works as a collection agent for a loan shark in Koyambedu, is told by Theal.
Durai is a vicious man who will not hesitate to break a person’s leg, but his life is turned upside down when his mother reappears in his life after 30 years of abandonment.
The skeleton of the film is based on the Korean play Pieta. Harikumar’s story, on the other hand, is chock-full of emotional moments, gut-wrenching situations, and commercial components that serve as breathers.
Harikumar takes a fairly straightforward approach to the film’s structure, moving on with the story by giving us a scruffy look at Durai’s life and how it gradually develops color and shape.
The film’s last act is fast-paced, with plenty of twists and turns, and it concludes on a high note.
Prabhu Deva has given yet another outstanding performance, but this time he is forced to play a dark character who is unable to grin or dance. Rewari Rao, who plays the doting mother to great effect, gives another strong performance in the film.
The rest of the cast serves as a supporting cast for the two main characters.
The film’s soundtrack, composed by Sathya, is a technical tool, featuring emotional signals and two dance pieces. The cinematography seems gloomy and ominous at first, but it eventually becomes a tone for the picture.
