Analysis:

Writer and Director, Shankar Marthand  tried to explore the idea of a relationship reaching the expiry date. Even though there are few clichés here and there, the story explores the idea of a couple going through various issues with utmost honesty.

Screenplay and the direction gets gripping as we follow the series. From the middle of the series, story gets gripping with the twists and turns. Director tried to organically build on them without giving in to the temptation of going for huge irrelevant reveals.

Performances by Tony Luke, Madhu Shalini are the best among the cast. All others also tried their best to deliver to the requirements of the story.

Verdict:

Thriller works due to the performances of the actors and the director's conviction. Watch it for the thrilling factor.
