    Funny one.

    It's has very good comedy scenes perfect timings. Story not that great. Screenplay was amazing. Climax was usual. Watch it in Tamil

    Too dragging

    This movie could be edited to an hour. First half of the story is built around character introduction with too much details which could have been cut short. Second half of the movie covers the main plot, whole team has done well here.

    Usual ghost comedy with a tiny twist

    The introduction was a bit different and the twist in the climax was unexpected, otherwise, the movie was a usual comedy-ghost thriller and nothing else was worthy of its mentioning.

    Not worthy to expected

    Not worthy to expected. Need larger context. Good content

    Highly Underrated

    Let me just start by saying that this is my second review, and I'm again writing it because of how underrated the cinematic work is. I don't know why this movie got such a bad rap. It's hard to come by good horror comedies, and this is one of the better ones. The comedy bits are all hysterically hilarious and they had me laughing out loud, which I only do if something is seriously funny. Granted, the way it comes together at the end is quite farfetched, but people need to understand that this is a work of loose fiction and it's meant to be a light watch. I think watching it was time well-spent. If you're wondering whether you should or shouldn't see it based on the terrible aggregate of a rating, throw that statistic and the prejudice that comes with it out the window, and give it a shot. You won't regret it.
