“On the whole here is a film that strikes a balance between style and substance. The director and his screenplay have been able to construct an engrossing actor –driven thriller with panache.”Read full review ↗
“It's an intelligent cop story amidst roaring, thigh slapping cops. It's different. It's Original.”Read full review ↗
“The film also gives the feeling that it should have been edited tightly, not on the editing table but during the writing. It feels a bit lengthy and too much time is spent on the romantic track (which happens over a pilgrimage), and despite some imaginative picturisation, the songs aren't integrated well into the script. There are also unnecessary attempts at comedy, and it is during these instances that we look back fondly at Arima Nambi, which smartly avoided such audience-pleasing elements.”Read full review ↗
“A well-executed film with good performances, Sigaram Thodu is definitely worth watching.”Read full review ↗
