The story of the film revolves around how the developmentally challenged hero Venkat Senguttuvan, despite facing the taunts and insults that such people usually face, shrugs them off and uses his wits to discover a criminal background and a criminal that the police cannot trace.
Incidents of rape and murder of women alone at home in Chennai and disappearance of women continue. Although the police discovered that the murders were committed by the same person, they did not publish any news about the case and conducted a secret investigation to find the killer. Meanwhile, the hero Venkat Senguttuvan, who comes to Chennai from Tirunelveli in search of his sister who has left home, meets the parents of a missing girl. Sensing their concern, he goes into the field with the help of his college friend, Police Sub-Inspector Prabhavathi, to find their missing girl. What happened then?, What is the background of the mysterious murders?, What happened to the hero’s sister who left the house? The rest of the film is the answer to such questions.
Venkat Senguttuvan, who plays the hero of the story, gets attention by showing a mature performance unlike the first film. He has acted emotionally when his mother and father die, he has handled everything like body language and speech pronunciation well, even when he thinks that he is being appreciated and shows his developmental disability.
It is surprising that Ivana, who attracted the youth with a film like ‘Love Today’, acted in such a role. While praising her courage in playing a role that young actresses reject, she and her performance don’t stick in the mind as her character is put to an end with the first half.
Playing Venkat Senguttuvan’s college friend and a police sub-inspector, Aaradhya attracts attention with her beauty and measured performance. MS Bhaskar who plays Venkat Senguttuvan’s father has as usual added strength to the character with his natural performance. Adukalam Naren, Bhava Chelaturai, Sudarshan Govind, Praveen Kumar etc. who have played other roles have also traveled to add strength to the screenplay.
Parvez’s cinematography and Karthik Raja’s music have raised the quality of the film manifold.
Written and directed by Mandra Veerapandian, the film has been told with a sense of the life of a disabled man and a crime thriller story added to the film.
Venkat Senguttuvan, a developmentally disabled hero, is the protagonist of the story, so the screenplay focuses on his disability. Especially, as the story revolves around the life of Venkat Senguttuvan, the insults he faces, his talent, strength, intelligence and love, the mysterious murders that are the central plot of the film and its background did not make a big impression on the fans.
Even if the director’s idea to take the postal department on the path of progress is well done, will the civil servants move fast? is a question mark. Verses like “This world, which sees the accomplished as achievers, only sees the differently-abled as fellow human beings if they achieve” get applause.
As much as the murders at the beginning of the film tie us in with the story, Venkat Senguttuvan’s life and his method of investigation move the film interestingly, but ending the film with one more incident after the background of the murder and the climax is unnecessary and old-fashioned.
