is an interesting heist thriller. The film is a remake of Hindi film Special 26 which was based on the Opera House heist that happened in 1987. Surya and his gang pose as CBI officers and raid a politician’s house. Karthik is a special officer who is asked the investigate the case and nab him. Meanwhile, Surya plans a bigger heist. How he manages that forms the basic plot. Keerthy Suresh is Surya’s love interest and the film’s speed breaker. While the film is interesting, for those who have watched the original Hindi film, this would be a tad disappointing. Why would one take a great film and try to make changes to include a back story and several unwanted scenes? Even the climax is changed to match Surya’s image and spoils the lovely ending in Hindi. Anirudh’s BGM is good but some of the songs dampen the pace due to wrong placement. RJ Balaji excels during his scenes. Director Vignesh Shivn’s comedy works but action and screenplay don’t at times. The movie is a let down.
