Plot

Vishwa (Sarathkumar) and Raghu (Raghuvaran) are the closest of friends. However, the former is true, while the latter is merely a mercenary. Nothing matters to Raghu except money. He uses his wealthy friend as a ruse to rise in status. Devoted to his selfish friend, Vishwa is too naive to know that Raghu is an archetypal scheming villain who could ruin him for money. When he does realize the truth, it is too late - he is already a wreck, estranged from his child and lover and behind bars. Now it is time for revenge.

Cast

Production

S. A. Chandrasekhar was inspired by the Hollywood thriller 'Double Jeopardy' and decided to copy. After receiving an offer from Lakshmi Movie Makers to direct the film, he reworked the script and cast Sarathkumar, alongside Prakash Raj and Raghuvaran.[2]

Reception

Bbthots called "a fairly engaging thriller but [Chandrasekar's] contribution is minimal since the movie is a frame-by-frame copy of the Hollywood hit Double Jeopardy, with Sarathkumar taking on the role played by Ashley Judd".[4] The Hindu wrote, "The film has flashes of intelligence, splashes of humour, spurts of sentiment and mounds of melodrama. Yet the cocktail does not offer complete satiety. One reason could be the pace, affected as it is by inevitable appendages".[5]
