Sabhash

The two people in focus are Srinivasan (R. Parthiepan) and his good friend Dharan Viswanath (Ranjith). Seenu is a loving husband of Shanti (Divya Unni), and Dharan is Shanti's ex-lover. Life is going great for Shanti and Seenu until Seenu loses his eyesight in an accident.

One day, Srinivasan and Dharan find that Shanti has died by hanging herself in their house. The police close the case as a suicide. Evidence surfaced which point to Dharan's guilt, but he resolutely maintains that he is innocent, while Srinivasan too believes him. It keeps the suspense alive successfully: with respect to Dharan's innocence and the reason behind the happenings. Srinivasan seems convinced that his wife has been murdered. One day, Dharan discovers that Seenu is not blind after all.

Who murdered Shanthi? Or was it suicide? Why did Seenu pretend to be blind? The answers to these questions form the rest of the story.

The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Deva.[2]

The Hindu wrote "The story [..] has several plot twists, some of which are predictable. But in a film that is supposed to be a murder mystery, the badly choreographed song sequences seem to be rude interruptions. Ideally, the film would have worked better if the songs had been cut out and the editing had been tighter."[3] Balaji Balasubramaniam wrote, "The director does have a good kernel of an idea for a crime thriller — a genre that is populated by very few memorable entries in Tamil cinema. But he fails to build upon the idea to deliver the goods. An erratic tone, misplaced comedy, sloppy editing and intrusive, unimaginative song sequences cut into the promising idea at the heart of the movie and the results, [..] are another weak entry into the thriller genre and sadness at a botched opportunity."[4]
