Plot

Vishwa (Sarathkumar) and Raghu (Raghuvaran) are the closest of friends. Of course, the former is true while the latter is merely a mercenary. Nothing matters to Raghu except money. He uses his rich friend as a ruse to rise in status. Devoted to his selfish friend, Vishwa is too naive to know that Raghu is a scheming archetypal villain who could ruin him for money. When he does realize the truth, it is too late - he is already a wreck, estranged from his child and lover and behind bars. Now it is time for revenge.

Reception

Bbthots called "a fairly engaging thriller but [Chandrasekar's] contribution is minimal since the movie is a frame-by-frame copy of the Hollywood hit Double Jeopardy, with Sarathkumar taking on the role played by Ashley Judd".[3] The Hindu wrote "The film has flashes of intelligence, splashes of humour, spurts of sentiment and mounds of melodrama. Yet the cocktail does not offer complete satiety. One reason could be the pace, affected as it is by inevitable appendages".[4]

gollark: Oh, cool!
gollark: You're going to blame it on capitalism. I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
gollark: But we probably can't because humans are bad.
gollark: Preferably we would get rid of the weird and inefficient prejudice against him and others.
gollark: As general wealth increases over time it'll be possible to do more and more stuff with some level of basic income.
