Imaikkaa Nodikal Movie Review   A CBI officer goes in search of a ruthless serial killer. Things get worse when the murderer targets the former and her family. Imaikkaa Nodikal  is another film which joins the bandwagon of thriller flicks released in Kollywood in the recent times. But it isn't just another attempt,  as it has its own moments, thrills, suspense, action and emotions. The film as cinematographer Rajasekar and music director Hip Hop Tamizha coming to aid, the love track between Atharvaa and Raashi, and the entire duration should have been trimmed to make it a better product.
