Prithviraj looks impressive but there is nothing much about him that we haven?t seen before. Madhu Neelakantan?s visuals are mostly good and Gopi Sundar?s tunes are rather ordinary. Scenarist Jinu Abraham, who makes his debut with the film, shows promise but only in parts. Rewind the story once again after coming out of the theatres and you will start realizing the weak links.
Still, director Johnny Antony has managed to make the film in a pace that never lets the viewer think too much. The whole focus is on Prithviraj?s heroism and that takes away the focus from the actual investigation. And sadly, that is the main problem with the film as well. The cops never really use their brain to solve the mysteries and it is more of brawn that is made to use here, instead of brain. The ?trendy pattern? used for the killing is the key to film?s storyline and in all fairness, it is pretty interesting as well, but ends up as a rather unconvincing one. It is virtually impossible to explain the flaws of the film without disclosing some of the suspense elements and we leave you to figure out it all. Now more killings follow and after a while, the cops find a startling pattern to all these mishaps. Sreeramakrishnan is assigned to investigate the crime and he is finding the going tough initially as Daksha had sets her own car ablaze, after killing her target. The film begins when an infamous womanizer, played by Vijayaraghavan, gets killed by a young engineering student named Daksha (Piaa Bajpai). Even then things start looking silly once you begin searching for logic in the storyline.Ĭop Sreeramakrishnan (Prithviraj), a firebrand IPS officer, and journalist Milan Paul (Sasikumar) share a close friendship, right from their college days. Though the narrative style is rather outdated, the film has its moments. Director Johnny Antony?s Masters has been packaged as a taut investigative thriller, where a cop tries to find the link to a couple of murders.
