Review of the film Mystery of the Tattoo: A formulaic thriller mystery!

 STORY: The art therapist Aathmika is renowned for her extraordinary capacity to interpret occult meanings in works of art and symbols. Police turn to her for help after a spate of deaths in London leave incomplete tattoos as a trail of evidence. Will they succeed in apprehending the murderer and putting an end to the killings?

REVIEW: A horrific accident claims the life of well-known artist Chitra Devi (Ameesha Patel), leaving behind an unfinished work. An art therapist named Aathmika (Daisy Shah) is inspired to finish her unfinished piece and dedicate it to her memory. In the meantime, there are several killings in the city, and the incomplete tattoo is frequently a sign of these crimes. Despite their best efforts, the police are unable to solve the enigmatic deaths. At this point, Aathmika's extraordinary aptitude for uncovering hidden meanings in works of art and symbolism enters the picture. Her skill will be helpful in deciphering the tattoos and perhaps figuring out why the crime was committed. Will she be successful in solving the case?

The mysterious deaths and Aathmika's role in the film's early setup, written and directed by Kalaiarasi Sathappan, keep the audience interested. The story gains an intriguing new dimension because to Aathmika's aptitude for uncovering hidden meanings in works of art and symbols. The narrative, however, loses momentum and becomes predictable as the plot develops, failing to keep the tension and interest it initially promised until the finale.

Daisy Shah portrays an artist well, while Aathmika seems like a character that was constructed half-heartedly. Vikarn's debut performance by Rohit Raaj is only passable. He lacks grace and exudes insecurity in front of the camera. Ameesha Patel and Arjun Rampal both got little chances to shine as special guests. The character arcs are far too formulaic.

While "Mystery of the Tattoo" has an intriguing premise, it falls short as a suspenseful thriller. Even while it contains a few strange aspects, the predictable plot and undeveloped characters cause it to eventually fall short of its potential.
