While primarily a Tamil-language film, it gained attention across South India and was released with subtitles/dubbing in other languages like Hindi due to its universal supernatural-thriller appeal. Critical Reception
The film features a haunting score by Ron Ethan Yohann and cinematography by Aravinnd Singh , which captures the misty, eerie atmosphere of the Ooty hills.
The film shifts from a standard police procedural to a supernatural thriller. The narrative is heavily influenced by the folklore surrounding Bus Route 375 and an accident that occurred on February 29, 2000.
Critics from The Times of India noted the film's engaging "chapters," though some found the screenplay convoluted in the latter half.
As the mystery unfolds, Varadhan discovers a deep personal connection to the case; his parents died in a car accident at the same hairpin bend on the very night the bus met its fate. Thematic Elements and Production
