So
many
movies
have
been
made
on
super
cops
but
none,

come
to
mind
on
firefighters.

soldiers
are
on
duty
every
day
but
sadly,
remain
unsung
heroes.

The

and
the
reviews
weren’t
kind
either.

Now,
one
waits
to
see
if
its
reception
on
the
OTT
medium
is
better.

Director
Vasan
Bala’s
story
about
a
woman
going
all

high
on

missed

in
theatres,
