The film opens with the mysterious murder of Kasi (Balaji Murugadoss) by an unknown assailant, before shifting to his parents filing a missing complaint at the police station. As the investigation unfolds, the officer gathers evidence about Kasi's background, leading to testimonies from several women who encountered him. Their accounts gradually reveal the story's core conflict.
The first half primarily explores how Kasi lures these women into his trap and how they fall for his deceptive charm. The second half focuses on the aftermath of their encounters with him and how their lives change as a result. The movie delves into the contemporary issue of how certain individuals exploit women while portraying themselves as socially responsible figures.
However, the film's message is often overshadowed by the director's overuse of erotic scenes in the second half. While this approach may appeal to a younger audience, it could have been more impactful with a stronger focus on the screenplay. The last 30 minutes elevate the film's pace, blending elements reminiscent of Naan Avan Illai and Maharaja, culminating in a convincing climax.
Despite some unnecessary comedic relief from Suresh Chakravarthy and Singam Puli, the performances are solid. Balaji Murugadoss delivers a decent act, though there's room for improvement-his growth as an actor is promising for Tamil cinema.
As a part of concluding this , JSK delivers a thriller that works in parts. While the film has engaging moments, a tighter screenplay could have made it a compelling watch.

Film started with missing person and investigations leads to dark side of person... initially film is ok but direction has very poor ... erotic scene has given more importantance that's why thriller elements are taken away..for that's movie is neither erotic or thriller... direction is also dull .... screenplay is clumsy and actors has done average acting....some twist are intresting at end....film is lengthy..first part is about investing and second half is about dramas...even makers are serious about thriller then it will become decent movie...you can watch movie for time pass ..only last twist at climax is good.
Very shameful movie to this society, chances for younger generation getting spoiled because of such third rate movies. Even B grade movies never be like this. Such a culprit director spoiling tamil industry with such movies. Don't encourage such movies, never ever watch such movies , only such ways we can teach them not to bring such movies, else these kind of tamil industry will keep feeding wrong examples to this society. Boycot such movies, BALA as actor never expected this from him or RACHITA. We are from Tamilnadu ready to save language tamil but not saving tamil culture why? Is the biggest question.

As one reviewer had pointed out this movie spoils Tamil culture, I totally disagree, this movie isn't about a made up story, but about a real person and even the details were to the point and even the other characters were about precise detailing. This movie is about a stark reality about the kind of society we are living in and about how we need to protect ourselves from certain ( I don't know what to call them) elements who have no morale and won't stop at anything to make money
Yes the acting was mediocre and certain scenes could have been milder. Overall an one time watch for me and a must watch for the intended target audience.
