Sudeep drives a fast-paced thriller with his strong presence

Sudeep remains the gravitational centre of the film. He is fit, composed, and commanding, dominating the frame even in quieter moments. Though he sports a different hairstyle, his dark-toned wardrobe extends the visual continuity from Max and suits the character’s grounded aggression. Even with the inclusion of a song like “Mast Malaika,” featuring Nishvika and voiced by Sanvi Sudeep, the film avoids forced romantic detours, keeping its focus on narrative momentum. The actor’s energy propels the film forward, ensuring that every sequence, whether it’s a chase, confrontation, or investigation, retains its intensity.

The supporting cast of Mark also have the chance to shine. Naveen Chandra brings instability and menace, while Shine conveys ambition without going overboard. Yogi Babu, cast in a negative light as Solomon, adds measured humor but does not lessen the tension. Gopal Krishna Deshpande and Raghu Ramanakopp also bring surprises. Archana Kottige, Roshni Prakash, Deepshika, Prathap Narayanan, and Ashwin Hassan serve important roles, adding depth to the film’s moral landscape. There are minor issues in dubbing, but the ensemble generally strengthens the film.
