Mohanlal as the avenging angel

When the film roars, it roars with purpose. When it stumbles, it still lands on its feet - thanks, in large part, to a lead performance that anchors everything.

Mohanlal shines and ultimately elevates Tharun Moorthy's family drama masquerading as a revenge thriller. It is one of his best performances in recent years.

The first act moves at a glacial pace, but stay with it. Once it finds its rhythm, the payoff is well worth the wait.
