The CinePearl Take
Director Srinath Rajendran delivers a polished, fast‑paced ride that never lets the story breathe too much, keeping tension high from start to finish. Dulquer Salmaan shines as the charming yet ruthless Kurup, balancing swagger with menace. The film’s visual palette—neon‑lit streets and rain‑slicked alleys—adds a noir flavor that elevates the biographical material. While the script glosses over some moral complexities, the sheer spectacle and strong central performance make it a compelling watch.
