You can keep your Marvel Cinematic Universe; sign me up for a lifetime membership in the Lokeshverse! Tamil-language film director Lokesh Kanagaraj has returned with his sophomore feature,, a gritty action spectacle populated by a murderers’ row of the biggest talents in South India. Toplined by 50-year cinema veteran and superstar Kamal Haasan,serves as a spiritual successor to Haasan’s 1986 film of the same name while also building on Kanagaraj’s debut feature from 2019, the propulsive.
There’s a serial killer on the loose in Chennai. A band of masked villains are killing people on tape and sending the videos to the cops. Amar is a black ops agent with a team who is brought in by police big shot Jose and tasked with finding the serial killer and stopping him. Among the victims is Karnan , a milquetoast nobody that doesn’t fit the M.O. of the other bodies, which immediately puts Amar on his trail. Find the connection to Karnan: Find the killer.
Haasan is definitely the lead here, a film legend in five Indian languages with a history going back six decades, but Kanagaraj backs him up with incredible actors in every role. All of the performers named in the above synopsis are strong enough to headline their own films, with Sethupathi as the thinking man’s hero and Malayalam-language imports Jose and Faasil leaders in their own industry. Putting them all in one film is like a dream, and every single one of them kills it.
