Mime Gopi is such an underrated actor. His performances are always intense and authentic. Looking forward to seeing him in this gangster thriller. The coastal locations in Kollam should add great atmosphere.
The technical team looks solid with Johny Nash handling cinematography. But I hope the story lives up to the hype. Too many Tamil thrillers these days have great technical work but weak scripts. Fingers crossed!
Interesting to see a female co-director in a gangster thriller! Surya Gandhimathi's involvement is promising. Hope this brings some fresh perspective to the genre. The single-night narrative reminds me of some classic thrillers.
Good to see new production houses like Dakdam Motion Pictures entering the industry. They're taking a risk with a gangster thriller as their debut, but the cast and crew seem promising. Wishing them all the best! 🤞
The coastal locations in Kollam will definitely add that authentic South Tamil Nadu flavor. Hope they've utilized the local culture and dialect properly. Looking forward to this one!
