Sherbet scene turning into a murder witness - what a brilliant transition shown in the glimpse! Tamil cinema is really upping its game in crime thrillers. The rural locations will add so much authenticity to the film.
While I'm excited for the sequel, I hope they don't make it too commercial like many Tamil films do these days. The first part worked because of its realistic approach. Fingers crossed!
As someone who loved the original, I'm cautiously optimistic. The casting of veteran actors like Pandiyarajan alongside new talents is interesting. Hope the music by DK complements the dark theme well!
Shooting in Theni and Sirumalai will give such beautiful backdrops! These locations are underutilized in Tamil cinema. The premise sounds gripping - an honored teacher caught in unexpected turmoil. Reminds me of some real-life stories we hear about.
The glimpse video gave me chills! That sudden shift from normalcy to violence was so well executed. Hope the full movie maintains this intensity throughout. Also great to see more women technicians involved this time ðŸ‘
The premise reminds me of some great Korean thrillers. If they can blend that style with Tamil nativity
