Story:
A series of murders happen in the Vizag region. They all are following a similar pattern. ACP Aravind (Naveen Chandra) is assigned to solve these cases. Initially struggling to find clues,he finally gets a lead from one of the victims’ bodies. Whether Aravind succeeds in stopping the crime spree or the murderer escapes forms the main plot of the movie.
Plus Points:
Naveen Chandra’s performance is awesome. His confident and subtle performance as the serious ACP who tracks down every detail in style is one of the main plus points of the movie.
The backstory and emotional connection is shown well. Other actors, such as Sashank, Dilipan, and Abhirami, also perform their roles competently. The director’s work is also promising. All the scenes are good.
Minus Points:
The first half drags very much. It makes
the audience waited impatiently for the intermission. More twists and turns would have helped maintain interest throughout
However, despite the okay storyline, the film suffers because of slow pacing. A tighter, faster screenplay could have elevated Eleven to one of the better crime thrillers but it could not happen. The hype for the movie was also not so much.
