presented by Srikanth Deva and released on Captain Cine Art's banner.
The story begins with an unknown series of assassinations and kidnappings of well known scientists, entrepreneurs and other
biggies in society. Things take a turn when Manoj (Biju Menon) a senior cop gets kidnapped too and the police department calls
upon the services of Arivarasu (Vijaykanth). Actually, he is an instructor at the police training academy and the news of Manoj's
disappearance gets him to the act for two reasons, Manoj is not only his best friend but also his brother in law. In this process,
he chances upon Aarthi (Navneet Kaur) who is smitten by him and in no time both of them fall in love and get married to each
other. Meanwhile, the search for Manoj is on and all roads lead Arivarasu to Canada where he is received by the sensuous Lara
(Seril Brindo) the Canadian cop who helps with the investigation. She comes across in some of the most revealing outfits and
high heels and there is suspense behind it. All roads take them both to Chandru (Rahul Dev) who gives Arivarasu the slip. What
happens from there? Where is Manoj? All this forms the rest of the story.
Performances:
The director has come out with a rather refined story keeping in mind the hero's political image and the presentation has been
quite mature. The narration of the plot looks clichéd but then the script was tight and the screenplay was strong enough to make
things happen. Good background music and brilliant camerawork has supported well for the movie and the editing could have
been a bit better to make the movie perfect. Full marks to the stunts, they have come out really well. Not much in the songs and
other departments. Vijaykanth has come out of his well and presented himself very sensibly, sophisticatedly and elegantly. Biju
Menon had quite a bit to do and he was good too. Navneet was hot and sexy while Seril had the oomph but both their roles were
limited so the glamour is enjoyed by the audience. Rahul Dev was strong as evil but theatrical in expressions at times. The
others like Sreeman, Riyaz Khan made brief appearances but carried their roles with ease.
