Character Breakdowns

Surya (Suhas)

Suhas enacts the role of Surya who fights the battle against face blindess in very believable activities evoking all the emotions that are associated with it not only in the physical sense but also in the mental sense as well.

This makes it easy for people to identify with him since they too would go through the same circumstances by the challenges confronting him.

Aadhya (Payal Radhakrishna)

Aadhya is not just love interest to surya but she becomes his rock standing by him every time things get hard since she understands that he is suffering because of something.

Therefore, the fact that it was depicted sensitive enough brought about this condition as well, as it helped him to better deal with the complexities of life.

this carries an essential depth needed here giving the role of payal an important part played in the story of surya to restore himself mentally or psychologically speaking altogether.

Vignesh (Harsha Chemudu)

Vignesh played by Harsha Chemudu adds comedic value to the whole movie, it doubles up as a friendship character towards surya and at the same time makes sure that too much fun does not come in the way of general seriousness which tagged to the gist line itself.

Antagonist (Rashi Singh)

Rashi singh adopts a very difficult position where she is a villain in the movie in question and this makes her acts very important whereby keeping audiences on their toes (and making them suspenseful) as to what may be the next move on the part of this character so far everything has been done extremely well.

Cinematography

The emotions are properly caught in shots taken by S.Chandrasekaran hence making them one of the most outstanding tools used during the production process besides making use of varieties of angles along with the light techniques in order to promote the various contents in terms of narration behind any scene at all.

As an example it may be stated that the scenes that come across the condition that surya is in are done visually in an interesting manner especially in enabling the viewer to understand just how complex his perceptions can get taking into account that he cannot see the face of any person other than own hence having the condition of prosopagnosia.

Sound Design and Music

Musical score by Vijay bulganin plays an important role in raising the levels of suspense along with the sense of thriller pertaining to the movie which cannot be overestimated. It serves a great deal more in those moments where sudden twist occurs or even thrilling scenes take place in the second half of the film.
