What are the problems Nandini is facing? Who is behind them? What are the 18 pages and how Siddhu unravels this mystery revolving Nandini forms the crux of the story.
Analysis
The trailer starts with a feel-good factor and has some youthful moments. There are some fun moments as well. However, the trailer promises an emotional love story laced with thrill. Like in other Nikhil films, there is a suspense element which makers seem to have held under the sleeves. Nikhil and Anupama seem to have shined in this roller coaster ride of emotions.
Sukumar seems to have penned an emotionally stirring story. His associate Surya Pratap helmed it. Gopi Sundar’s music score seems to have stood out. Overall, the 18 Pages trailer is raising curiosity. We have to wait and see how Nikhil and Anupama would continue their success streak after Karthikeya 2. The makers have announced Dec 23rd as the film’s release date.
