Another goody cool Vagabond hero like umpteen Tamil movies. And he falls for a fair maiden college girl. Situations conveniently conjures up to make girl meet boy (accident, phone misplaced etc as per the imagination- seems like script was written during shooting itself) and boy get close to girl, make friends etc. The usual drill. Without reading too much, one can still see how subtly the movie promotes stalking women, treating the wooing of women as some commodity etc and glorifying it as a love story. This continuously happens in almost every Tamil movie (unless it is a psycho movie, which is another issue). The roadside romeo being projected as cool kid who is just making passes at girls in public places with his sidekicks. In fact, here Simbu's character proudly flaunts this aspect in the climax of the movie.
The positive part of the movie is Simbu's one-man show, where he somehow manages to keep the proceedings from falling apart totally. Giving him good company is Santhanam as the sidekick, with his trademark comedy. Also, the director tries to add some flair to mostly ordinary scenes. For example, even in climax, any potboiling action or fights are eschewed and the end is relatively quiet in sync with the overall tone of the movie.
Overall, there isn't really much to rave about. This is a Simbu show all the way. If you are his fan, you would love it. For others, it may be a drag.
