says:     Though this film is being made with a budget of short film, the film has three parts and is made on a wider platform. In fact, it has all the classic structure of a feature film that this can not be called as a short film.

Interestingly, it has the three act structure of a feature film as well and though, the story brings a feeling of Déjà vu, the way it has been presented has something interesting to any viewer.

The story in short is about two friends, Jeeva and Gowtham, who change their directions in life after passing out of the college. The brilliant one goes garbage while the garbage gets brilliant. Nice conflicting characters! Except the friendship between them, there is nothing binding in their relationship that only through the dialogues that we come to know that Gowtham wants to meet Jeeva. Of course, Jeeva also repeats it but still something is missing here. It has been used as a catch and so it turns out to be pure mathematics rather than a natural born feeling.

Well, quite a few characters are being introduced here..David, Chinese, and the boss. David has done a great job with both dialogue delivery and body language. The boy, Chinese, is another interesting discovery. He is quite good. While the boss is not quite fitting to the position he is holding, Jeeva presents a pathetic look always. His body language needs lot of improvement. Megha, a friend of Gowtham and Jeeva is so pleasant to watch. She delivers the dialogues quite efficiently and emotes beautifully.

As such, the first Act moves faster and jumps into the Second Act with Jeeva executing his first murder while Gowtham is being promoted to the higher levels in his office. Now naturally, one looks for the connection where Gowtham and Jeeva happen to meet face to face. With this the First part ends.

The music is pleasing and the cinematography is brilliant. Typical gangster film’s emotions are brought out in most of the frames. The editing needs special mention here. It is a clear cut!

The first part flows so well!

- Review by Ravi Joghee

ABOUT RAVI JOGHEE: Though Mastered in Statistics and Operations Research, it had been my passion to get into film making and well, I got the best offers in Tamil Cinema and had been working for almost 12 years in movies such as Ullaasam, Samurai, Whistle, Kaadhal, Kallloori and more . Having fairly learned the techniques, I have realized that the screen writing is the real forte of any film and it has not developed so much in South India for there are not many books in the regional languages available for the aspiring young film makers to read. So I went on to study all screen writing theories from the world’s leading film institutes myself and now, I am well equipped to deal with any situation in a story. Unequivocally, reviews sharpen any mind and here I am,, reviewing!
