4 years after his debut with well-known Kannada actor Dhruvangal Pathinaru, director Karthik Naren has come out with his second release Mafia Chapter 1. While starring Arun Vijay and Prasanna, the film's stylish promo promises an interesting cat and mouse game. Along with this, Narcotics Bureau officials Aryan (Arun Vijay) and his team - Satya (Priya Bhavani Shankar) and Varun (Bala Hasan) are focused on eradicating drugs in the society, and many losses affect DK (A) Divakar Kumaran ( Prasanna), those who head the drug mafia. As Aryan finds DK's illegitimate empire, DK moves to eliminate Aryan and so does Aryan. While Aryan was able to destroy the Mafia Empire of DK, what is Mafia Chapter 1.

Arun Vijay as Narcotics Bureau officer Aryan is perfect with impressive body language and subtle underplay. In addition, he makes the action sequences believable. Smart and Suicide's antagonist DK as Prasanna makes his moves in a calm manner and gives an interesting performance, and his character could have been better sketched. While Priya Bhavani Shankar and Bala Haasan do not get many sequences to make a score, and enough as team members. The first half of the film starts with a leisurely, set up characters and Arun Vijay gets into DK's identity quite easily, which is a disappointment. After moments of forecasting, the film reaches an exciting interminable block.

The second half is where the real action and Karthik Naren are. At the moment Prasanna's Arun leads the milestone of Vijay's character while keeping you hooked with stunts and interesting action. The unexpected twist at the end makes up for the shortcomings and predictions in the script and gives a great edge to Chapter 2. Jacques Bejoy's background score provides a high in action sequences and supports silence whenever necessary. Gokul Benoy's cinematography captures stunning visuals and action scenes impressively. While Triti Editing of Sreejit Sarang ensures that the stretches are not dragged episodes. Actor Karthik Naren's second release Mafia Chapter 1 is a story of narcotics officer and drug mafia which is about his efforts to hunt down the kingpin. Aryan realizes that the initial sequel of the film DK is very predictable and he decides to attack DK's Den directly since then the film becomes interesting.
