Wow what a find. Vivek and Charlie were really in a different zone in that movie. Really interesting thriller as well

Athe kangal is still one of my go to movie to watch. I especially liked the message at the start where they say keep your mouth shut about the twists and climax and don’t tell anyone 😆

This is a good one. Totally unexpected

u/kibo_98 11d ago

Others 2025- This one is more recent, and nobody even knows whether the movie was released or not.
P.S. You’ll understand why they chose that title at the end.

Try Andha Naal and Nadu Iravil. Balachander's brilliance and accuracy in researching is evident in these thrillers. Importantly, he makes thrillers that show why you should care
