Quite average !! How many of you think that Penguin's twists and turns and the motive of the culprit is similar to FORENSIC and HIT:THE FIRST CASE ?
Interval block - Forensic
Climax culprit motive - Hit:The First Case
Another twist in the tale is similar to FORENSIC.
#Penguin - A wannabe psycho-thriller which manages to pull decently till the final act but fails in the climax.

People should come up with something else other than finding ways to justify Psychotic characters. Just make them dark rather than collapsing in end (like Film Hit). pic.twitter.com/9XJyP40Uby
The film HIT was also directed by a debutant director named Dr. Sailesh Kolanu and it starred Vishwak is a cop. HIT also was a film with a lot of ups and downs. It was also reported that the Penguin's protagonist was also very worried and upset like the protagonist of HIT. It was also reported that like HIT, Penguin's antagonist also has a depraved mindset in the climax.
It was also reported that the only difference in the films was that HIT was a film about a cop and Penguin was a film about the struggles of a mother and her emotional decisions. This is what has made the fans point out the strong similarities between the climax moments of the two movies.
Recently, Keerthy Suresh opened up about nepotism in the south Indian film industry and expressed that getting an entry in the South film industry for her was easy as she is the daughter of producer and director G. Suresh Kumar. Besides, her mother was also a Tamil actress and her elder sister, Revathy Suresh, is also an actress.
Keerthy then added that it is the connection only that can get one to enter the industry and after that, all that matters is the talent and how one person can act. She expressed that it may be the same for all the film industries like Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood and Mollywood. Her film Penguin has been getting good reviews and can be seen on Amazon Prime Video
