Overview

• Released in Indian theatres on September 26, the Malayalam film marks Unni Sivalingam’s directorial debut with Shane Nigam and Shanthanu Bhagyaraj in the lead.
• Set on the Kerala–Tamil Nadu border, the story follows four kabaddi-playing friends pulled into local moneylender feuds and gangland power plays.
• Reviewers note that the sports angle fades by the midpoint, with kabaddi functioning mainly as a framing device for frequent mass-action set pieces.
• Sai Abhyankkar’s background score draws consistent praise for elevating momentum, even as critics find the writing predictable and emotionally distant.
• The Hindu cites template echoes of Shane Nigam’s RDX, while performances by Selvaraghavan and Alphonse Puthren earn mentions alongside the 154‑minute runtime.
