A.R. Rahman's saxophone-drenched soundtrack that slaps.

Direction

K. Balachander's theatrical staging meets cinema maximalism.

Best for:Solo: When you want to ugly-cry with zero witnesses.·Rewatch: For catching all the tragic foreshadowing you missed.
Heads up:Emotional: One brother doesn't make it. Devastating final act.·Triggers: Suicide by gun; intense sibling betrayal scenes.
