Psychological thrillers set in Chennai's buildings have so much potential. Hope they don't rely on cheap jump scares and actually explore the 'dreams vs reality' theme properly. The casting of Thalaivasal Vijay is a great choice.
As someone who loves Indian cinema, this sounds intriguing. The blend of a known music director and a cinematographer from 'Poda Podi' suggests a good technical crew. Hope the story lives up to the hype.
Shooting entirely in and around Chennai is a nice touch. It gives a local, authentic feel. But I'm a bit skeptical about "unprecedented thriller experience" claims—heard that before. Will wait for the trailer to judge. Fingers crossed!
Excited to see Deepshika in a lead role! She's a fantastic performer. The art director's previous work on 'Mathagam' was superb, so the atmosphere should be top-notch. A perfect film for a theatre outing next month.
Director L.R. Sundarapandi has a chance to make a mark here. The concept is fresh for Kollywood. Hope the screenplay is as tight as they claim and not just another predictable story. Releasing in Feb means less competition, smart move.
