Another police story venture by kaaka..kaaka fame Gautham Menon with padmashree Kamalahassan in the main character, with Jyothika as the heroine and Harris Jeyaraj as the music director. The movie has big shades of craziness, as in kaaka.. kaaka with Pandiya, except in this one with Ila and Amudha.
Raghavan is an honest cop. He is a widower. His wife was killed by some vengeful convicts, who were released. Arogyaraj (Prakashraj) was his support at that point in time leading to a deep friendship between them. Arogya lives happily with his wife and a daughter. Suddenly his life is in shatters - his daughter gets murdered.
To investigate the death, he calls Raghavan for help with the investigation. While the investigations are proceeding, Arogya leaves for the States to get some peace, but is brutally murdered in the foreign country. Looking at the clues, Raghavan feels the murderer is the same for both the cases he is investigating. He also uncovers other string of murders, all having similar clues. With the investigation, he traces the murderers to be 2 Indian medical students, Ila and Amudha. But they escape by severly injuring Raghavan.
Also during his stay at New York, he meets Aradhana, a to-be divorcee of a cheating husband. He falls in love and eventually proposes to her. She accepts the proposal after they return to India.
The 2 students infiltrate into India, escaping all the police traps with clever disguise and other murders. As a final trap, they plan to kill Raghavan and his family, along with Aradhana. But their plan backfires and all ends happy.
The craziness of the 2 medical students was very well captured, I must say, because it almost made me throw up and close my eyes everytime they talked about the murder or one of the bodies was discovered. I was thankful that they didn't show the actual things too many times. Probably, wouldn't have gone through the censor board. As much as it is nice to see reality, some of it could be contained as not everyone has a very stable digestive system. My sibling totally forbade me from singing one of the songs in the movie, cause it reminded her of the scenes.
But good job by the director and the rest of the cast. As usual, the visuals were astounding and very realistic. Songs were melodious, but it seems like all of Jeyaraj's tunes seem to be coming from the same raaga and after a while one song meshes into another. The only one that stayed in my mind was pen nilavae.
A good movie, worth a watch, or perhaps more if your bile can handle it.
