The Smile Man plot and review

The crime thriller revolves around a seasoned cop, who is now suffering from Alzheimer’s. At the same time, he takes upon a serial killer case who seems to be targeting people and murdering them in a similar fashion.

While speaking to OTTplay earlier, Sarath Kumar talked about playing an Alzheimer’s patient, “I have got a personal experience because my mother was a patient of Alzheimer’s. I have gone through that, the days she remembers and days she doesn’t. Sometimes she asks me who am I, and it’s sad and difficult. Probably, the film might tend to exaggerate a bit, but we did add some shivers to show some quality to the performance.”

The film opened to mixed reviews upon its release. It adds itself to a bunch of crime thrillers that Tamil cinema has seen in the recent past.
