Mani sir& his brilliant ensemble cast set the screens on fire with a bold new character sketch in cinema for each of the characters. A master craftsman at work& it’s almost like he’s having fun etching out hard hitting content& throwing all rules out the window!

CCV-RUSH(for it)
Str is honest& real, Arun is edgy&flamboyant, VS is fun,local& raw, Jyotika is intense and makes it look so easy, Arvind is powerhouse and is in one of the best fight sequences seen in tamil cinema in a long while and ARR freaks out on the score. CCV is trippy!
