For instance, the biggest action stunt in the film doesn’t come from Arjun or Preity. And I know who you’re thinking of, it’s not even Abhirami’s.The review added: “However, the film gives its biggest action pivot to the fourth person, which makes the set-up interesting. From Preity’s stunning introductory fight sequence, the film has a block of action every five to ten minutes. However, it rarely becomes redundant thanks to predictable exciting twists.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article have been collected from public and industry sources.
