Vetri, the son of a crime novel writer, comes to Chennai to write a serialized account of his father’s life in a magazine. He befriends Thambi Ramaiah, a police inspector in Chennai. Thambi Ramaiah, impressed by Vetri’s detective skills, takes him on a journey with him. At that time, a female reporter and some school students are brutally murdered in the same manner. How does Vetri, who enters the field to find out the background to these serial murders, find out? Who is the murderer? What is the background?, is what is described in ‘Chennai Files – First Page’.
Although it is not new to see Vetri in crime suspense thriller genre films, his performance in this film is a bit new and a good improvement. Although she acts with her usual body language in the investigation and detective scenes, she has completely avoided her flaw of acting in the same way with her dancing and funny speech, and has performed well, she has said.
Shilpa Manjunath, who plays the role of a reporter as the heroine, does not have romantic scenes or songs. She does not have a role that is important to the screenplay. She shows her head in a few scenes, suddenly gets caught by the villain and runs away, then disappears without knowing what happened to her, and shows her face in the climax.
Thambi Ramaiah, who plays the police inspector, cuts his usual neck with his body language in the name of comedy. Then he tries to confuse the audience with his character role.
Debutant actor Mahesh Das, who plays the villain, looks and threatens like the last brother of the Hulk. Mahesh Das, who tries to scare with his body without saying much, has acted a little.
Since Reddin Kingsley’s character, which is imposed for comedy scenes, is an unnecessary nail, all the scenes he appears in are worth a laugh.
The songs and background music in the music of composer AJR are in accordance with the story.
Aravind’s cinematography and Vishal’s editing have made the film lively and fast-paced.
Written and directed by Anish Ashraf, along with the psycho thriller genre, has also talked about social issues. The director, who has recorded that severe punishment should be given especially to crimes against women, has told it commercially through a sensational screenplay.
A person who has no connection with the police, rather than interfering in the investigations to this extent, could have designed him as a police officer or an ordinary policeman. However, Vetri’s character and the way he looks at criminal cases make the film enjoyable.
