Overview
In 1950s post-colonial Madras, tensions flare on a film set as a driven filmmaker and the superstar he once mentored clash over pride, control, and creative ambition. Their rivalry tightens around a rising newcomer, and as emotions and loyalties shift, the production turns into a pressure cooker of drama and suspicion.

The first half was great. Two egos clashing 'amp; another person who can change power dynamics, it was just perfect. But then in the second half, it falters, it suddenly moves on to a murder mystery, and also feels dragged, even losing you for moments. Still a good watch but compared to the first half, It's a let down. Dulquer Salmaan, wow! This man continues to deliver outstanding performances. And finally a good role for Bhagyashri Borse, she is gorgeous and her work shines here.
