While browsing Amazon prime we came across Mahira. Seeing Raj B. Shetty on the poster we thought of watching it. From Ondu Motteya Kathe we have seen all his films, though he is a supporting in this thriller.

An alleged rogue agent lives a melancholic life on the coastal Karnataka with her teenage daughter. An incident exposes them to be chased by both law enforcement as well as criminals. Now on the run mother should prove her innocence to protect them both. Why is she hiding despite being an excellent undercover?

A Hollywood style thriller. Few scenes reminded us of "Pieces of Her" novel by Karin Slaughter. There are few loose ends. The relationship between mother-daughter sounded superficial. Just addressing your mother by her first name does not make you cool or your bonding better.

If loose ends were knotted tightly Mahira had the potential to become a exemplary thriller. Nonetheless a one-time watch. Including the lead most of the cast were new faces.
