This film takes inspiration from the 1997 Hollywood flick Breakdown. It follows the love story of Arjun and Kayal, who get married but face a major twist after 12 years when Kayal admits she's seeing someone else and wants a divorce. While driving her to her parents' place, she gets kidnapped, leaving Arjun on a desperate search for her. He encounters numerous challenges along the way. Who's behind Kayal's abduction? Can Arjun rescue her? The film revolves around whether they reunite or part ways for good.
The movie kicks off right from the start, skipping the usual fanfare. There’s no grand introduction for Ajith, but the song Savathika sets a nice vibe.
In the first half hour, we get to know Arjun and Kayal through a series of flashbacks that reveal their relationship and the reasons for their split. Other characters like Aarav and Regina are introduced as well. Since the plot is already familiar, viewers have to hang in there until Trisha exits and the film picks up some pace. We see Ajith navigating through a foreign land where he doesn’t understand the language, leading up to the twist we’ve been anticipating.
As the story unfolds, the first half raises questions about the villain's identity, while the second half digs into their motives. Fans who stuck around hoping for a more thrilling experience in the latter part might feel let down. The film wraps up in an unexpected way, leaving viewers with a sense of confusion.
This film is a slow-burn thriller with a solid screenplay, though the story could use some improvement. It's fantastic to see a star like #AjithKumar taking on a genre-specific role without the usual mass appeal scenes. The production quality is top-notch, almost Hollywood-level, and the cinematography is stunning.
Both AK fans and the general audience will find something to enjoy here. It's not your typical mass masala flick; instead, it's a romantic action suspense thriller. If you're into plot twists, this movie has plenty to keep you engaged. In the second half, #AK really comes alive and delivers an explosive performance.
