As Carlin’s investigation deepens, it not only probes through the very fabric of space and time using top-secret surveillance techniques that can look back in time but it becomes an innovative love story that unfolds in reverse when Carlin discovers his puzzling emotional connection to a woman whose past holds the key to stopping a catastrophe that could destroy their future. Overall, Deja Vu had the potential of becoming a mind-blowing film but ends up being a thriller that leaves us with no complaints.Déjà Vu (film) Called in to recover evidence after a bomb sets off a cataclysmic explosion on a New Orleans ferry, ATF agent Doug Carlin is about to discover that what most people believe is only in their heads is actually something far more powerful-and will lead him on a mind-bending race to save hundreds of innocent people.

Achyuth as the novelist delivers a seamless performance that helps the narration to pick up the pace. Popular yesteryear actress Madhoo is seen helming a major role in this story but underutilizes the opportunity thrown at her. One wishes there was more clarity thrown at this aspect of the narration.

The story takes time to establish a rhythm and then once it gains the rhythm, it proceeds with a laser-sharp focus. The film is an investigative drama that begins with a novelist and his writings that come to life. The film comes from the desk of debut filmmaker Arvindh Srinivasan and has been bankrolled by popular cinematographer PG Muthiah and producer K Vijay Pandey.
