Eagle Eye 👁
The film is inspired by Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil, a Malayalam film. Brinda impressed the audience with her excellent direction. Some of the climax portions are excellently made, and she filmed the scenes as a versatile director. None would believe that this is her second film. The screenplay is made at a quick pace. However, the first half of the film takes a lot of time to establish the story. The visuals are excellent, and Sam CS’ music is brilliant, and it elevates some intense sequences well. The film has decent production values, and it is technically fantastic.
