He was assigned a crucial mission. His mission is to stop a plan to destroy the port using ammonium nitrate.
ETimes’ review of the film says: “Saravanan has improved significantly since his debut. He has been given a character that plays to his strengths: Sakthivel is morose, serious and soft-spoken, and Saravanan maintains that register consistently. He won’t be asked to carry a heavy emotional load, but he doesn’t need to. Andrea, Sham and Santhosh Pratap give strong performances that complement his presence and keep the film’s dramatic engine running.”
The group functions as a unit rather than a showcase for any individual artist.”
