This movie deals with a very delicate subject of human trafficking. Although this story is somewhat new to Tamil cinema, the idea is in fact taken from "Taken" (no pun intended!). It might be too much to say that this movie is a remake of the Hollywood "Taken", but there were quite a few similarities. (I am refraining from quoting instances. Don't wanna give too much away!)
But the gist of the story goes like this: A working girl Yamuna goes missing after her night-shift work. Her lover teams up with a veteran cop to nail the bad guys. Sounds simple, but the movie is definitely not your "boy-kicks-100-asses-and-rescues-girl" movie.
For one thing, the director depicts the scenes with shocking detail that your heart goes out for the victims. Then again, it is that obvious that the director has borrowed some thoughts from the Hollywood movie. Another thing is that the movie deals with a relatively new subject in Tamil cinema. That keeps the audience engrossed for they are curious to know the fate of the victims.
But the climax was a bit of a let-down. It was almost like the director had run out of ideas as to how to finish the movie. He resorts to something Vijaykanthish (you know what I am talking' about!). Couple of other things were also mediocre at best: location and sets were pretty ordinary. In fact, the sets were so ordinary and out-of-place that it was hard to digest that that is where kidnapped victims are secured. But you cant really blame the director for insufficient budget.
Bottom line: Something out of the box and intriguing. Watch if you have nothing else to do.
