Kollywood industry has seen so many movies on journalism and the circumstances they face. Cinematographer turned director KV Anand, who started his career as a photojournalist, this time the director has tried to bring in the real life experience which is is engrossing, entertaining and racy. 
The movie brings in picture the real and soft nature of the media persons, where as on the other hand media person are always portrayed as demi-gods. The thing which deserves a special mention is the narrative technique of the movie. The technique is very simple but potentially explains the complication of a photojournalist. 
Jeeva has been put into the shoes of Ashwin, a photojournalist with a newspaper called Dinanjali. The complications and the hard deeds they face are being well portrayed in the movie. This particular thing also carnivals the passion of the director for photography. 
Jiiva, the stylish photojournalist is the axle of the wheel and to compete with him are the new face Karthika and Piya who also play the role of journalist in the movie. Ajmal plays the role of a politician who likes to bring in a change in the society. Prakash Raj plays the role of the Chief Minister who sets the ball rolling.
The movie begins at Dinanjali, a newspaper office where Ashwin (Jiva), is a photographer and Renu (Karthika) and Saro(Piyaa) are journalists. Up on their feet they have a nose for news. Ashwin's lens is creative and catch all well. 
Vasanth ( Ajmal ), an engineer rebels and wanted to become a politician to change the whole society. Yogi (Prakash Raj) plots against this and sketches a bomb blast. Accidentally Saro ( Piya ) gets killed which takes the movie further. So, Renu and Ashwin set their mission to get justice. 
The performances by the central cast are superlative, and equally praiseworthy is a massive performance by the supporting cast. Speaking about Jiva's performance in the movie, the body language and dialogue delivery are catchy and needs compliments. Ajmal is equally good. Karthika is a good find by Anand. 
Needless to say about the sounds as the songs are already a hit. The cinematography of the movie is yet another important character in the movie. 
The film manages to do one very crucial thing: it evokes your sentiments. You feel empathy, rage, helplessness, and triumph at every step of the way with the journalists.
