Verdict: Shoot at Sight Utharuvu is a thriller that largely works. Except for a few comedy episodes and logical loopholes, the movie keeps the audience engrossed. The director should have worked more on the screenplay. The other fact is that the movie is not made with the typical commercial stereotypes. The climax twist is impressive and also ends on a positive note for the audience. Finally, Shoot At Sight Utharuvu, barring some glitches, is a decent home watch .
