Arun Vijay makes his OTT debut as the vigilante cop Rudra who has many-personal demons to deal with. Tasked with stopping the leaks of a Tamil action star’s film, Rudra is faced with a complex, complicated world of piracy.
He deploys a combination of feel-good ‘legwork’ with cyber forensics to crack down on the shadowy group. From profiling Tamil rockerz kingpin Daya to decoding the organization’s modus operandi, Rudra has an enormous task at hand. He is assisted in the investigation by Sandhya (voice food) and Bhanu (Vinodini Vaidyanathan).
While the acting is over the top and believable, the characters feel unrealistic. Rudra’s personal tragedy evokes sympathy, but is not as convincing as a plot point. It would be fair to call it a rebel base. After all, cop characters with similar drives are a common sight in Indian films.
The criminals themselves appear as cardboard cutouts without much depth. It defies Arivazhagan’s otherwise pragmatic approach to the unexplored aspects of the Tamil film industry—the good, the bad and downright corrupt practices.
Maththi played by Azagaham Perumal is a charming character. While he is on the receiving end of piracy, he uses all the means at his disposal to conquer the box office.
