About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded rise-and-fall gangster drama with strong performances, emotional beats, and standout music; Not for you if you dislike slow builds or familiar crime arcs like Yennai Arindhaal or Magamuni.
Pros: strong lead performance; memorable music; gritty underworld journey | Cons: slow first half; familiar gangster template; uneven, confusing finale
