A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a worthless piece of crap.... I don't even want to tell what is wrong in this movie but i must finish the quota of 10 lines for a review. A simple story of good people vs bad people involving drug smugglers, gangsters and prostitutes. I watched this movie because of gautam menon's production and a new heroine bindu madhavi. I was disappointed to see her lasting only a song and not much of a role for her with very few scenes. Even my senseless dreams would have some reality more than what is told in this movie. Are there no director with a good story or this is a chance given to female directors to come up with some crap. Some people back home might think this is a decent movie as it ends with a happy climax. This is like a story in my childhood where stories are told like there 4 good guys and there are 4 bad guys and awful lot of drama with fight.
