He tells a story that goes beyond the usual tropes of a man wronged getting a bail and seeking revenge. It is only five years later that he finds respite when Aadhya takes up his case.Ī film like this demands excellent writing and that is what Vijay excels at. The film’s aim is to show how an overworked, underpaid system finds a pawn in an innocent man and director Vijay ensures you feel every emotion that Surya does. But Surya remains reluctant, even through bloodshed. The more pressure mounts on him to solve the case, the more he wants him to admit he’s guilty. Lawyer and activist Raja Gopal is murdered and CI Kishore (Harish Uttham) arrests Surya based on baseless evidence. Surya is a happy-go-lucky man who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Both the cast and crew of the film deserve applauds for bringing forth a subject that’s less explored in this film industry. Naandhi takes the opposite route and showcases what we as a society lose when innocent people are punished by the system. Review: Police brutality is an issue not taken seriously in our country, especially when Tollywood often glorifies the idea of encounters and non-judicial killings. How the duo manages to navigate rough waters forms the tale. Advocate Aadhya (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar) takes up the case, fresh off law school. As an under-trial prisoner, he doesn’t just have to prove his innocence in court he also has to face abuse in custody. Story: Surya (Allari Naresh) is an IT employee leading a happy life till he’s marked as a suspect in a high-profile murder case.
