This show is conclusively, for me, a beautiful thoughtful rendition of Tamil Pulp Fiction from the 70s & 80s- the cast, the script, the setting, the clothing, what a beautiful quirky show. I can see a lot of reviews say it's confusing - that's cz the missing link is definitely then cultural context of pulp fiction storylines. Nothing needs to make sense to simply sir and watch and believe and understand and enjoy the twisted plots and the basie desires that drive perhaps some of the stupidest crimes and actions. I enjoyed this show thoroughly and look forward to ore imitations or enhancements of this much needed genre in Indian television and cinema landscapes.

This show borrows from the themes any fan of 90s Jackie Chan movies or even Chinese movies from Hong Kong- a little funny, tongue in cheek, violent emotional romance. Well written and choreographed, I enjoyed all the references and carefully signposted references to living life- Asian. From demanding parents, to cut throat women who use both brain and brawn to get what they want, to sons trying to find their way through societal expectations and stereotypes... All delivered in humourous witty dialogues. Very entertaining and ofcourse it requires some suspension of belief in it's story line and thank God that's the case. Who needs reality in a world such as ours!
