Suriya, who is raised by Joju George, who commits illegal acts, wants to live a peaceful life without a mother or father, leaving behind his girlfriend Pooja Hegde. But the man who chopped off his adoptive father’s hand for the same girlfriend also kills his men. As a result, Pooja Hegde moves away from him, and Suriya is sentenced to prison.

Suriya learns that Pooja Hegde is in the Andamans. Suriya, who goes to the Andamans to start a new life without violence and peace, as he wanted, faces a huge responsibility and a war. So, what will become of Suriya’s life?, is told in a mass and classy way.

Suriya has given many faces to the same character through his acting, from being a brave son who would do anything for his adoptive father, to becoming a monster after failing in love, and then a fighter who fights for the liberation of a race. Suriya, who carries the entire film on his shoulders, makes the audience enjoy scene after scene by dancing without smiling and handling action scenes stylishly.

Pooja Hegde, who plays the heroine, has traveled like a regular heroine without any uniqueness in the screenplay, even though she is the center of the story and the theme that moves the story. However, she has done the job given to her to the fullest.

Joju George, who plays the villain, has intimidated with his natural acting. The actor who plays King Michael, Nasser, Prakashraj, Karunakaran, who has played other roles, have done the job given to them flawlessly.

Although the songs composed by composer Santhosh Narayanan are already a huge hit, they are even more special when viewed with the visuals. The background music and the beats take the audience to the retro era.

Cinematographer Shreyas Krishna’s camera has beautifully portrayed all the actors and actresses, including Surya and Pooja Hegde, as retro era people, and the action scenes have been presented in a very stylish manner.

Although the film travels with two stories and another sub-story, editor Shafiq Mohammed Ali has neatly put together the scenes so that the audience can understand the film without any confusion.

Director Karthik Subbaraj, who has set the world of the retro era before our eyes, has given the audience a new experience by making the mass action film of that era in the present era.

On the one hand, the sentiment of Amma, cult fight scenes, and different action scenes entertain the audience. On the other hand, Suriya has handled all of this very well, entertaining the audience with a retro style throughout the film.
