6 Aug
Summary
- A photographer ventures into a forest to capture a rare phenomenon.
- He faces dangers including hallucinations and illegal cultivators.
- The film's pacing is criticized for being too slow and repetitive.
A photographer's ambition to capture a rare natural phenomenon leads him deep into the Mathikettan Solai reserve forest. Veera, the protagonist, disregards local warnings and enters the isolated area, seeking to make his mark through his craft.
Once inside, the forest becomes a formidable adversary, with disorienting paths and terrifying hallucinations. Veera's struggle is further compounded by the presence of illegal ganja cultivators who perceive him as a threat.
The film intersperses Veera's perilous journey with flashbacks to his childhood, intended to provide emotional depth. However, these sequences are criticized for not delivering promised revelations and contributing to the film's slow pace.
Despite its narrative challenges, the film is acknowledged for its handsome framing, effective visual effects, and the absence of unnecessary masala elements. The lead performance is also noted as watchable and understated.
