The cast looks solid but I hope the story delivers. Recent investigative thrillers have been quite predictable. Fingers crossed this breaks the mold!

That 'Tamugu' song was such a fresh idea! More films should experiment with bilingual content like this. Can't wait to see how they've incorporated it into the story.

Respectful criticism: While the technical team looks impressive, I wish they'd cast some fresh faces alongside established actors. The industry needs more opportunities for newcomers.
