      Bus Route 375 is a True story

      Arulnithini once again chose an amazing script, i wonder how he choses his scripts they r very unique from the other movies. This movie starts as an horror movie and leaves you with amazing thriller suspense ride in the end. Story is really mind blowing, cinematography is really good and VFX part is also good. Acting wise everyone performed well🔥. The story has been adapted by real life based incident happened in China "The Bus route 375" till now no one has ever solved the mystery behind it. Director built an amazing story using a small concept and gave some amazing suspense in the movie.

      They could've dragged a bit more and built few elements in the plots.

      A must watch movie for Thriller lovers.

      Decent

      Decent Supernatural mystery thriller . Story was quite intresting but screenplay was weak . In First half , story takes it's own time to build with too many unwanted stuffs ( over detailing ) . Second half was good and intresting with some good twist and turns . Few jump scares worked . Technical wise , camera work and editing was poor . Comedy scenes in few places worked and few didn't , actually comedy was forced in most of the places , literally irritating . Performance wise , few casts done good job and some were overdramatic and amateurish . Overall , decent watch ...................................................

      "Felt like reading a gripping novel"

      Such a wonderful suspense thriller. While the story was taking its own shape in the 1st half, the 2nd half of the story brought me to the tip of my seat, traveling back and forth in time and connecting the dots with the unexpected twists was mind blowing. Especially when it kept all of us thinking where did this guy disappear with the bag? The role was really well played by actor Thanikai, which indeed brought us to tears with his emotions. Kudos! To the entire crew..The best part was, watching a good movie which was well narrated. My dad while he walked out, was reminiscing each and every scene and finally said this with satisfaction "oru nalla novel padicha feeling"

      A super natural movie with a different plot

      A good movie with nice twists.

      The movie starts with ideal elements for a fantastic thriller plot. Travels like a horror movie and ends like a sentimental one.

      Most of the movie happens in a bus and is related to a hairpin bend on the Ooty hills. Starts like a typical thriller with a death scene at the beginning. Several murder incidents happen on the same day. The director does a great job of building up things and deviates your attention from the main component of the movie.

      There was a time when I was sitting confused. I didn't know how this movie is going to travel. I'm usually a person who is successful at guessing things. I was only able to realize what is happening like 20 minutes before the ending. Director manages to keep you thinking.

      It might not be a must-watch movie but surely an enjoyable one. The budget constraints are showing up in some visuals. Arulnithi carries himself very well. He is becoming an impressive actor. I am starting like his scripts. The man has a great sense of what good writing is.

      Overall, worth every minute of your time. If you're scared of horror movies (like me), don't worry. This one is not very scary.

      Superb thriller with engaging elements

      Well written script and very well executed screenplay with perfect emotions. From beginning to the end you will feel the seat edge thriller moments.

      Director doesn't reveal the plot until the climax its very different and we can't guess it.

      Music and BGM was very apt and clear. Movie is visually chill and the plot is based in Ooty.

      All the characters in the movie done their part very well. Even the comedy elements works well.

      The Bus dues the main role in the movie. Really the camera angles and the VFX inside the bus was superb.

      Totally very superb execution. Congrats to the team Diary. Actress pavitra does her part very well.
