Masterpiece by Vasan. The way he narrated this ordinary story, the way it unfolds its worth spending time & money, it throughout kept me engaged & there was not a single dull moment. And Aliaa, she literally made you feel the emotions and pain of the character. She showed different stages and shades of (seems to be) a simple emotion, protective\otherly instinct, by expressing herself as determined, uncompromising, most of the times violent, sometimes calm and in-between helpless woman and finally her loud cry that has all the emotions with sense of victory at core. She successfully ride you through the journey of that character.
Its a cult movie, bow down to the captain, Aliaa.
