Sathya informed to shut down the entire Trinetra agency and did not reveal to anyone that Raghuveer is Rana as he feared that Al-Mujahideen members might try to take Gopi.

As the film is made on a compact budget, it will make merry at the box office because of its universal appeal.

If you ignore the slightly slow second half, you can happily enjoy this popcorn thriller which is filled with ample twists and turns.
