The Team
Technically this film is brilliant. First and foremost thanks to the director for choosing such an interesting concept and delivering it without making it very preachy.
One would definitely realise that soo much of research is involved in making this script 100%. The marketing statergies are well analysed and explained in a way that it reaches out to the common man.
Dialogues are well written. It is sharp, strong and hits the right chord.
Art direction needs a special appreciation as the team has set the northern part of Chennai very well. Cinematography is excellent and each and every scenes have been captured very beautifully.
Songs are good but it could have been much more better. BGM stands tall as it raises the total emotion of the scenes.
Editing is neat and crisp. The length was a little issue.
