On the one side he thinks of saving the human life and other side he bet the same human life for death game placing luck as the main factor. Director Jagadish taking the two tracks - fear for death and death by compulsion is rather slow in his narration. The end point is as expected when wrong path is followed.

He deposit the money to his wife name in the bank before he takes a bus where he is finds another shock. The required factor for the audience is the patience. At times director tests the patience but overall he succeed in good narration. Tilak is adequate in the role; Parvathy Nayar has nothing much and so is Neha Patil.
