Sam Anton directed the action-comedy film Trigger. Atharvaa plays the lead roles in the movie. This is the actor-director team's follow-up to their hugely successful cop thriller 100.

Premises:

Atharvaa, regrettably, was punished by having to disobey his superior's orders by being suspended from the Police department for acting inhumanely. However, it is only a false suspension, and he has been appointed as an Internal Affairs undercover officer. The task then begins.

Writing/ Direction:

Sam Anton has a talent for convincingly delivering platitudes, and he did so in this instance. Although the wording is handy in many areas, the defects are concealed by the detail with which the multi-layered crime viewpoints are explained. There are lulls in the action, and up to a certain point, it seems like the scenes are all over the place, but they gradually develop into something interconnected, and it's done successfully despite the filmmakers' freedom. Overall, the screenplay is passable; the explicit information from the paper are depicted on screen in a rather graphic way. It's great to see Sam Anton and Atharvaa teaming up to add some variety to the cop thriller subgenre. Their previous movie, 100, was about a police officer who works out of a control room, and this one is interestingly based on "Parallel/ Deviation Crimes." The original thought makes a difference and provides something intriguingly new. Despite the fact that there are many tracks and not all of them are repetitious, the transmitting style isn't poor and doesn't definitely irritate.

Performances:

Atharvaa is a good fit for the character of the cop, however he needs to work on his emotions expressions and dialogue delivery. Despite the lame love story, Tanya Ravichandran has a meaty role as the head of an orphanage. She is there for a good reason. Thankfully, Arun Pandian controls his emotions and gives a calm performance; he also shows a fair level of interest in the plot. Though the villain is one-dimensional and powerful enough, he wishes he hadn't been given a phoney beard. However, some of their casting decisions could have been improved. There are still many other supporting actors who serve a purpose. Making Munishkanth and YouTuber Anbudasan pretend to be undercover policemen didn't improve the serious or comical quotient at all.

Bottomline:

Although the story is drawn out and there are some logical flaws, it is nevertheless a compelling action thriller with many enjoyable moments. The fundamental strategy is different, but the overall storyline holds up. Try it out.
