Takes around solid 40 mins for the introduction of characters & felt lags around that !!
Later film picks up the phase and moves in the thriller mode building the suspense
Interval Block ends on a little Twist
As a Director #JasonSanjay has a solid making, but could have handled the story & screenplay better
#SundeepKishen carries the role flawlessly
Film moves towards the Heist genre. Onto the second half,”

“First Time director did his job almost to the perfect, good character selection right from Sandeep to sampath all did their job perfect.
BGM and songs were supportive to the greater extent. Action blocks are top notch sandeep was perfect in it.
Screenplay was crisp but felt lag in some portion in both halfs I hope sanjay will overcome in future.
Fun moments were throughout till the climax. And finally how successfully they finish money heist is the ultimate climax.
Overall a decent watch with fun and heist concept,Welcome to the industry jason Sanjay.
Final Rating: 3/5,”
