Most of the stories made as films in this world are love stories. Even some good psychopathic thrillers like Spyder and Rakshasudu lose their uniqueness by forcing a lovestory in between the story. But thankfully Penguin did not force any unnecessary love story in the middle, staying honest to the premise. This is the story of a pregnant woman who found her lost son after 6 years tries to protect him from the psychopath who is wanting to kill the child. The combat between them could have been much more interesting, horrific and thrilling but the screenplay lags in many moments and discharges the fun in it. Any thriller can be appreciated only if the screenplay leads to somewhere conclusive and logical.
By surpassing that point if it the film goes anywhere it is only an extension which in this case came out of nowhere. A pure average script. By the time you reach interval you feel there is something off about the kid and by using this situation the film could have travelled in a much darker space and brought goosebumps but it didn't so. There are no songs, so naturally anyone would expect a compelling background score from this thriller. It feels okay in situation, could have been even more better. I don't understand the logic behind playing pleasant music for a death scene. Technically everyone did well in their craft. The mother factor in this film is highlighted in many parts but the protagonist Keerthy Suresh playing the role is not at all convincing as a mother. Certainly not the character one would choose after Mahanati.
