Owen Gleiberman Variety Apr 12, 2018
The movie is a mess, yet once the thriller plot kicks in, you do start to absorb it as a "silent" film, tuning into the visual atmosphere of stalker fear and rusty chemical entropy. Go to Full Review

Mercury may be remembered as the first silent thriller in Indian cinema, but it's far from the heart-stopper we're looking for. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Mercury eventually melts down to the story of human sufferings caused due to corporate greed. And we do leave the theatre with a heavy heart, if not totally frightened by Prabhudheva's thirst for vengeance. Go to Full Review

Ron R Apr 21, 2018 Mercury. Neither a strong thriller nor a complete plot around social issues. It is a mild mixture of both. Karthik Subbaraj definitely a ray of hope for Tamil cinema. Realistic night visuals and the background score speak lot in this silent movie. Of course, sometime subtitles too. I love this movie because Karthik tries to denote the mystery as the symbol of social issues with the powerful message "We are fighting against wrong enemies". It makes you sentimal particularly in this period; our own people fighting for banning Sterlite. See more
Apr 20, 2018 Very intelligent film
Leia S Apr 19, 2018 Gets off to a slow start but the last half was very entertaining.
Kylo L Apr 16, 2018 Amazing and gripping-line. Wonderful performance delivered by the actors. Nerve wracking and a nail biter screenplay. A strong message conveyed to the audience. See more
