Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A standard, though reasonably engrossing drama about a 19-year-old Tamil Tigress sent on a kamikaze mission to assassinate a VIP. As Malli (Dhakar) travels up river, rooms with a mad teacher and trains up for the big day, her mind casting back to her father's own martyrdom and an encounter with a wounded fellow soldier, the pace is just a little slow, and the soundtrack oddly filled with Malli's amplified heavy breathing.Author: NB
