Not many films are made involving serious crime detection. This one is an exception, and also because it has a female protagonist at the helm of affairs. What starts out as a rape case turns out to have many twists, including a 'supari' (hired) assassin, who is inured to crime, and thinks nothing of either killing, or raping, and is extremely creative, and daring.
His identity is revealed at the beginning, so it's the cat and mouse game between him and the female cop that sustains interest. Alfred Hitchcock used this approach successfully in his films- focus on the how he got caught rather than on Who did it.
It works, because the film is gripping. I had only one small problem. The protagonist relied too much on her hunches, and did not give enough thought to where the killer could be found when some signs pointed towards her immediate surroundings. No mention of any fingerprints, surprisingly, when they may have helped solve the crime much earlier.
The acting is good, on both sides. The direction by Gopi Puthran, even better.
