Continue
reading
our
movie
review
to
know
what
exactly
this
thriller
has
to
offer.
Vil
Ambu
Plot:
Vil
Ambu
is
about
two
characters,
played
by
Sri
and
Harish
Kalyan,
who
are
not
connected
to
each
other
but
end
up
influencing
each
other's
lives
without
even
them
realizing
it.
Based
on
the
concept
called
fate,
Vil
Ambu
parallelyshowcases
the
life
of
petty
thief
and
a
guy
who
works
in
an
IT
company,
against
his
wish.
How
does
these
two
characters
cross
each
others'
path,
what
are
the
consequences
they
face
because
of
each
other
and
how
do
they
solve
them
forms
the
crux
of
this
crime-thriller.
Performances:
The
casting
of
Vil
Ambu
is
its
biggest
strength.
Lead
actors
like
Sri,
Harish
Kalyan
and
Samskruthy
Shenoy
have
delivered
brilliant
performances,
making
their
characters
look
authentic.
Special
mention
goes
to
Chandini
Tamilarasan,
for
the
girl
is
an
absolute
treat
to
watch
in
this
particular
movie
(especially
in
the
climax
portion).
While
Srushti
Dange
doesn't
have
much
to
do,
comedian
Yogi
Babu
is
an
added
advantage
as
he
brings
down
the
house
at
many
places.
Technicalities:
Cinematographer
Martin
Joe's
hardwork
is
very
much
evident
on
the
big
screen
and
the
output
is
pretty
decent
as
well.
Navin's
background
score
is
apt
and
manages
to
lift
certain
scenes
up.
It
also
adds
solidity
to
the
overall
feel
of
the
film.
While
Ruben's
editing
in
the
second
half
is
just
about
perfect,
he
could've
shortened
the
length
of
the
movie
in
the
first
half,
which
would've
subsequently
made
the
film
a
touch
more
grippier.
Vil
Ambu
manages
to
hold
your
attention
for
a
major
part
of
2
hours
and
17
minutes,
but
more
so
in
the
second
half.
Overall
View:
Though
Vil
Ambu
looks
nothing
short
of
greatness
on
paper,
director
Ramesh
Subramaniam
gets
carried
away
with
his
sub
plots,
making
the
film
look
decent
than
brilliant.
