Loy.”He also praised Radikaa Sarathkumar’s performance, saying, “And in Radikaa Sarathkumar, he gets an actor of immense stature to effectively portray the villainy of his protagonist, and the veteran turns in a massive whistle-worthy performance that makes us feel his presence in every scene, despite minimal screen time for the character and the steel behind the steel woman.”The supporting cast also received appreciation. The review noted its contribution to the overall impact of the film.However, in the second half he highlighted some issues. He said: “But it’s the changes of heart in the second half that are hard to buy.”The review added, “After showing Pavunuthaayi as a Shylock who would not hesitate to warn a woman to take her clothes off if she doesn’t pay, the director then wants her to be seen as a figure of female empowerment.”NOTE: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from various public and industry sources.
