Movie Name: Tunnel

Cast: Atharvaa Murali, Lavanya Tripathi, Ashwath Kakuma

Rating: 2.75/5

Story:

A police encounter with a bank robbery gang goes wrong, leading to the death of officers. The gang swears to kill anyone in uniform. Akhil (Atharvaa), who has just joined as a constable along with his friends, gets trapped in a slum area controlled by the gang. The film unfolds around whether he escapes, the villain’s motive, and the significance of the tunnel in the plot.

Plus Points:

• Engaging second half with slum-based thriller sequences
• Interval twist keeps the suspense alive
• Atharvaa and Ashwath’s performances
• Strong technical aspects: cinematography, visuals, background score

Minus Points:

• Routine love story in the first half
• Lavanya Tripathi’s role has very little scope
• Villain’s flashback lacks emotional weight
• Some predictable plot elements

Verdict:

• Tunnel works as a seat-edge action thriller with good tension and solid performances, but falls short with a weak love track and shallow villain backstory. Worth a watch for thriller lovers.
