ETimes review for ‘Con City’
ETimes gave Con City a rating of 3 out of 5 stars. The review says, “Give Harish Durairaj this: for a debut, he reaches past the cookie-cutter template, constructing a multi-strand con story with a family pulse instead of the usual hero hero. Performers cover for many. Arjun Das plays slower and hotter than his recent intense run, and the double act of Yogi Babu and Vadivukkarasi is the most reliable source of entertainment. Sean Roldan’s songs are a real plus and his background score keeps working, while Aravind Viswanathan’s camerawork is serviceable. There’s nothing here you haven’t seen, but the cast does the familiar understatement smoothly. Con City is happy to have a decent hang, and you should be too.”
