Vikram is supposed to trap Anna to bring peace in the neighbouring nation. But it's not a cakewalk. As numerous mysteries unfold he discovers a whole major plot for assassination of an ex-Prime Minister.
An assassination, which could have been avoided, is left to take a disastrous shape and stun the globe. You wish had it been in your control the black day would have never arrived but the helplessness of the political system and Vikram leave you distressed.
Madras Cafe has that poignant spontaneity, which would give you goose bumps.
Narrating the disastrous day Sircar takes a keen interest into the detailing of the petty department and links, which lead to the moving finale. Neither an inch he misses nor he chews over any unimportant individual.
