Cast: Bharath, Mirthika, Erica Fernandes, Santhanam
Direction: Sasi
Genre: Thriller
Duration: 2 hours 25 minutes
Synopsis: Arvind (Bharath) wakes up from his accident with the memory of his dead girlfriend Liyana (Mrithika). But why is everyone, including his brother Gopal (Santhanam) and psychiatrist Anand Murthy, claiming that she is just a figment of his imagination? And, how is the number 555 the key to his past?
Review: Sasi, who has so far made soft films like Sollamale and Poo, tries his hand at a commercial thriller with action, suspense, and of course, the inevitable romance. While the director's intent in giving us a fresh and different commercial film is evident, sadly, he doesn't manage to sidestep the genre's pitfalls.
Take for instance the story (by Aravind and Suresh). It sets up the intrigue very well — a young man finds everyone telling him that he is imagining things. It is, in this aspect, a thematic cousin of Samar, which too was about a man who is confused by what is real and what is not. However, the chinks become evident when the mystery is revealed. The antagonist juvenile behaviour belies the intelligence that we expect his character to have, considering the manner in which he has toyed with the hero till then. Worse, this character's motivations, while plausible, are not at all convincing and the fact that it is played by yet another import from the north (with atrocious lip sync) only adds to the ludicrousness of the role.
