First OTT movie review :
The court drama is shouldered by 4 people
Bhagyaraj, Thiagarajan, Parthipan and Jyothika.
Jyothika has lawyer Venba reopens a 15 year old case of a Psycho killer Jyothi with help of her father Bhagyaraj. Since it's being her debut case everyone thinks she wants to create sensation. Is that true? Or what is the truth? Forms the crux of the 2 hrs court drama.
The antagonist Thiagarajan brings the best criminal lawyer Parthipan on board against Jyothika to argue the case. Jyothika shows her brilliance in the initial court scenes to lock Parthipan with her arguments and the movie heads towards a predictable Interval block.
But Parthipan comes back strongly with counter arguments and locks Jyothika with a check mate. Jyothika stunned by the move takes the case forward with a emotional flashback quotient rather than evidence quotient. At one stage Jyothika says I am the evidence for the case.
So who is she? What is the emotional saga she faced? Why she wants justice for this case?
Find out the answers in Amazon Prime.
The closing argument dialogue is too touching. We can't accept we fought and lost, but we want Justice.
Rating 3.5/5
Final Verdict : Definitely a worthy watch for the strong hearted.
