One of the friend suggested this movie to watch as soon as it hit theatres. Somehow, I got held up and couldn’t go. Recently, it became available on Netflix, so you can watch it there. I think, Amazon and Netflix should pay me for these recommendations.
Coming back to the topic, the story revolves around the father and daughter. Their bond is beautifully depicted. They are a normal family living on the outskirts and he works in a salon. The mother dies in an accident at the beginning of the story, leaving their world revolves around each other. The father’s role is shown as someone who would do anything for his daughter. There’s a scene where she says her father likes being bossed around by her and feels proud.
The story begins when he files a complaint in the police station that Lakshmi is missing. Lakshmi is nothing but a steel dustbin that saved her daughter during an accident. They begin to worship it along with their god. Later, it’s revealed that the story is about his daughter being assaulted by three men.
When he traces these men, a backstory connects with main villain and the father. It is misconception and villain believes that maharaja is the reason for he ending in prison. After his release, he plans a revenge plot as his family was shattered by this. I won’t spoil more, but the movie keeps you hooked with scenes with past and present.
The supporting roles done by the police team, teacher and people in the salon add depth to the movie. The father’s character transformation is shown clearly. change. This incident bring out the beast in him and he tolerates everything just to find the one culprit hiding in the police station.
In the same way, the main villain cares deeply for his family and the way he loves his daughter. The chain was pretty tho. The bond is pure and certain scenes are really beautifully portrayed. The way she took her hands off him the moment she came to know the wrongs he did. But the thing got thinking is, why not to consider the others as human. The daughter is a daughter right?
The movie made me realize that there’s a beast in all of us.

When the inspector knew the secret, OMG, that scene was a bang! In the end, when he realizes the truth about his own daughter, guilt creeps in and asking for forgiveness. The ending reminded me of a similar storyline in Malayalam movie (I can’t recall the movie name) but with a different plot. The same father daughter story and guilty father. Somewhere, these stories are hard to digest (For me).
I did like the ending part of it where his blood filled the traces of her footprints. I assumed it that he is asking for forgiveness. May be the violence with the girl child can be reduced but the punishments are needed. If you’re too sensitive, I don’t recommend this one but it has a thrilling plot and definitely it hard to take eyes off Vijay Sethupathy’s acting.
Cheers
Happy Weekend!
