The protagonist Vimal, a member of a tribal community, raises an elephant named Sena. Forest officer John Vijay plans to steal the Yaliswaran idol from the temple in Vimal’s mountain village, using another tribal community living at the foot of the mountain. Meanwhile, Vimal’s elephant, in a fit of madness, attacks his daughter and runs into the forest. Did Vimal, who goes into the forest searching for the elephant, thwart the temple idol smuggling plan? What happened to the elephant that went into the forest? That forms the story of the film.
Vimal appears not as the protagonist of the story, but merely as a character. As a member of the tribal community, he hasn’t put in any effort for the role and acts in his usual, unconvincing manner.
Srushti Dange, who plays the female lead, portrays a brave woman in a dignified role, but she falls short in the scenes where she needs to display courage.
Yogi Babu’s comedic scenes fail to impress. John Vijay, playing the forest officer, acts in his usual clownish manner.
Kabir Duhan Singh as the villain, Mahima Gupta as Ganga, Vijay Cheyon as Idumban, Alfred Jose as the college professor, Siva Krishna as Kali, Shubhagi Jha as the college student, and the child actress Ilakiya as Vimal’s daughter have all performed their given roles adequately.
Cinematographer Manas Babu T.R.’s way of filming the scenes has elevated the quality of the film and showcased the money spent on the production on screen. The songs, composed by A. Praveen Kumar, are of average quality. Uday Prakash U P R’s background music complements the narrative.
The film editor, Nagooran Ramachandran, has edited the screenplay, which comprises three different storylines, with considerable difficulty and inconsistency.
Writer and director Dinesh Kalaichelvan has failed to convey his intended message clearly and has also mishandled the scenes and characters.
Although the title and premise are attention-grabbing, director Dinesh Kalaichelvan’s screenplay and visuals fail to capture the audience’s attention in any way.
