For a suspense story to work, nothing should be clear. This is ambiguity that maintains interest in such stories. Damies drama Kanal Nero ,
Shiva owns a rich property. His wife Kayal is a meditation seeker, and hurts Shiva. One day the quarrel between them takes a serious turn, and she tries to kill her wrist. Shiva surrounds the knife with his hands and push it down. She is suffering from an injury and dies. While advancing the stage LED display (LED support – TN Now), to take Shiva out of the house and show him to Shiva, there was a very clever way to portray the scene. You see Shiva (Sridhar Ramaswamy) killing his wife and burying her. But the later events surprised you whether Kayal is really dead. Shiva gets phone calls from unknown numbers and when he responds to the phone, it is convincing at the other end, asked him why he had left him. Should you believe the evidence of your eyes? Or should you not do? You keep asking yourself this.
Shiva goes into pieces, and finally accepts the crime and tells the police where he buried the body. But when the police excavated the spot, there is no corpse in the pit. The way the plot was handled and the performance of the actors caught the story to the end. V. Sridhar, Sridhar Ramaswamy was especially good in his roles as Kadir as Shiva and Satish.
However, the conclusion was unrelated and left one with many questions. The play also had some logical flaws. However, this review will serve as a spiiler to raise these questions. It is enough to say that the drama was on full entertaining, and with a suspension desirous of mistrust, you may be able to ignore the conclusion of far and wide.
