Cast: Gautham Karthik, Priya Anand, Vivekh, Daniel Balaji, Taapsee, Sathish, Dhanush (special appearance).Direction: Aishwaryaa Dhanush.Genre: Thriller.Duration: 1 hour 59 minutes
Synopsis: Karthik, who has ESP, helps his friend Panda win a betting game with his power, but this lands him in trouble with Randhai, the gangster who funded the betting operation, who, now, wants him to use his power and make a killing at a casino.
Review: For her sophomore effort, Aishwaryaa Dhanush has come up with a film that is far removed from the bleak world of her solid debut, 3.

The film isn't perfect, far from it, it has a few weak spots that could have been disastrous but the confidence with which Aishwaryaa manages to narrate this story helps us tide over its issues.
In a few swift strokes, Aishwaryaa gives us all that we need to know about her hero. Take away the element of ESP and Karthik (Gautham Karthik, effective) is just your normal middle class youngster with a modest job and an introvert attitude.
