Presentation:
The director has come up with a good subject in his debut effort and though the narration lacked a bit of intensity, the presentation was nice. He has been well supported by the music which had its own moments of hair rising shots and the camera which has caught the fear and the passion in the right mode. The editing could have been better which would have tailored the script tightly and the screenplay was acceptable. Munna has done a decent job as the handsome and caring husband and Monika was a true revelation as she oozed out the oomph factor boldly, her wild side has appealed the mass audience and her sensuality appealed the class. Chandru was the real show stealer who comes across as the innocent and a transformed maniac. The others were okay in their performance.
