Movie Review : Indian Penal Code
Gunasekaran ( Kishore) runs a taxi servixs and has a happy family life with his lovinf wife (Abirami). His sister Kani ( Kushitha) is in love with a food delivery agent (TTF Vasan).
One day, a local Inspector, Muthukaruppan (Bose Venkat) gets in trouble over a lock up death and absconds.
As luck would have it, due to a political conspiracy, it is the innocent Gunasekar who is made a scapegoat and arrested and tortured, in order to get him to admit to a crime he is not guilty of.
His helpless family's world is shattered. But hope appears in the form of kani's boyfriend.
Does justice prevails? Who is behind the false case against him?
The film marks ace bike racer TTF Vasan's big screen debut and the actor does full justice to his role, displaying ample charm and screen presence.
Abirami is aptly chosen and shines as the troubled wife. For Kishore, the role is a cakewalk. But as the movie proceeds one can't help but feel his one note, tortured and distraught character, could have been better written to give him scope to perform to the extent of his talent.
There are several songs in the first half, which are well mounted and visually appealing.
Though the film seeks to highlight the loopholes in the law and the plight of the common man, the proceedings get a tad repetitive after a while with the incessant torture. Few dialogues too seem redundant.
However, there are twists in the tale which keep the suspense going, which work in favour of the film. Overall, a neat debut for hero Vasan and a film that sincerely attempts to link to its title.
