".....what truly stands out is how Karthik weaves and picturises the many dualities of the two heroes moving from and into the two worlds. There’s a lot of reality marrying fiction, such as the many real-life incidents that the film alludes to. There are also symmetrical frames bifurcating a gun from a camera and a gun from a spear. Kirubai is essentially the protagonist while Caesar becomes a mere puppet to the situation. Both are stories of self-discovery, but one is a journey to overcome fear and the other is a story of reclaiming oneself from pain. And Suryah and Lawrence are spectacular in their characters. Watch how Suryah sells his character’s moral dilemma by having seen two sides of the same man. Meanwhile, Lawrence impresses as the gun-slinging ruthless gangster but also makes you feel for who Caesar truly is."
