‘Psycho’ that kept up lot of curiosity of the audience for various factors is a usual localized Hitchcock style of narration. This is the first film that kept the star cast in tight secret. Only in the morning show of the film the title card showed the names of the artists. Even in publicity this director used the designs instead of artists’ faces. This is all for a huge success in the box office.

For the title of the film what the protagonist ‘Psycho’ does? Take a look at few developments on screen.

A debutant director playing with tricks of the trade holds your breath. He does not give pleasant environs throughout for the ordinary brain. He shuffles, chuckles and buckles you on the seat. You should hold your breath for the quick movement of the camera.

Dhanush playing the psycho role is very absorbing. He has that silence to kill on screen. He has the power in his arms and eyes. Anitha making debut is charming in some of the frames. She looks aged when she comes in the close up.

This is a musical film with some speedy and high pitch songs. Raghu Dixit has to prove that he can give pure serene melodies too. Sabhakumar camera is splendid. He has a great future ahead.

Psycho does not test your patience but test your never strength.
