Selfie Movie Review - Rushed Sequences Spoiled the Ending?
The film follows Kanal, a country youngster played by gv prakash Kumar, who mistakenly enrols at a B-grade engineering institution in the city. The liquor-sipping student is introduced to the clandestine world of college admissions rackets when he discovers that his father (played by the brilliant Vagai Chandrasekhar) paid a significant amount as "gift" to obtain him the seat. Soon after, he becomes a student broker, luring wealthy parents into securing seats for their children at medical schools. Kanal quickly develops a bond with classmate Nazir (DG Gunanithi), and the two team up to take on the system with a sense of humour, making quick cash and rapid trouble in the process.
Ravi Varma, an alumnus of the college who is played menacingly by gautham Vasudev Menon, is the leader of the racketeering gang. Ravi, like Kanal, has his own set of opponents working to bring down his system, including the management chairman's son-in-law, who is attempting to unseat the henchman. Thanks to editor S Elayaraja, the film's action sequences have a slickness to them. Jump cuts add to the narrative flow and frequently keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Mathi Maran, a former colleague of Vetri Maaran, like Vetri Maaran, enjoys including raw action sequences into his films. While the main characters deliver strong performances, the supporting cast, particularly Vagai Chandrasekhar, shines in emotional passages.
While the first half of the film is enjoyable, the second half has a few flaws. As much as the film tries to investigate an unknown topic, it occasionally falls behind its initial pace—this is especially noticeable in the climax, when the much-anticipated loose ends are tied up with hasty moments.
