Serial killing and its related murder mystery stories have really made an impact in Tamil cinemas since the release of Ratchasan. Its suspense and its way of story telling captured the attention of kollywood
Post that films like Kolaigaran . Porthozhil grabbed the attention and ran successfully theatres in OTTs too.
The Smile man joins this venture as an unsuccessful addition with Sarathkumar at its helm.
The story starts with Sarathkumar who voluntary retires for police after an accident that changes its life drastically and he suffers from Alzheimer .
He was unsuccessful in the case of capturing an accused a serial killer who cuts the mouth of the people and kills them . Sarathkumar tries his best to salvage this flat story with 2nd half having no real connect why the villan does these things.
The 1st half of the film went really well in not time but 2nd half faulters so badly with poorly written backdrop story
The film has stars like Kalayarasan,Ineya who gives their best with Sarathkumar to pull off this but it goes in vain
But a decent attempt by the debut director who manage to evoke this average film and makes this thriller a one time watchable.
Have a popcorn in the comfy of your home and watch this movie with no expectation.
