Chithirai Sevvanam review: Silva's debut direction fails

Chithirai Sevvanam  ( Red sky of month Chithirai) fails to showcase the directorial talent of stunt choreographer Silva and to a certain extent does help debutant Pooja Kaanan to show her acting talent.

If not for the debut of stunt choreographer Silva and Sai Pallavi’s sister – Pooja Kannan, the film does not merit a review. Must also give a pat to A L Vijay who discovered th
