    A good movie with awesome comedies

    This movie is far better than the director yuvaraj's previous movie 'thennaliraman' the humour is worked well in this movie. The comedy scenes done by the legend vadivelu was awesome especially the bank robbery comedy. I gave 6/10 because of the scenes with the villan gang are not that much good enough it must be better than this. I saw old vadivelu in this film.
