    If you have time to waste, please watch it.

    Probably one of the worst movies in Karthi's career. No idea why he accepted such a movie. And no idea how the director narrated the story to the main cast and convinced the producer to make such a movie. No story, no comedy, no action, zero entertainment. Movie started off with a fight between a husband and wife followed by a robbery scene. Then comes the hero introduction. Probably one of the worst hero introduction you can ever think of. Then the story gives a feeling of an introduction to a good cops film. But continues without any proper direction. No proper villain character and no proper cast. Importantly, no idea about the film location, Cops travel to Andhra then Kerala and then again to Tamilnadu and all these within two days by road. There is no scope for heroine. She comes for few scenes and suddenly disappeared. KS Ravikumar comes for 3 or 4 scenes, but don't know what character does he play in the movie. Time to mother sentiment, just to convince the family audience, which is the biggest minus for the film. Please watch it if you have enough money and time to waste...

    Don't Get Your Hopes Up

    Yo, peeps, let's break down this flick real quick. The plot? Not the most thrilling ride, ya feel? The storytelling is a'ight, and some scenes got that good pen game, while others just straight-up snooze-worthy.

    Now, Japan's character? A mix, fam. Sometimes, it's all entertaining and got you smirkin', but other times, it's just flat-out annoying. The director's hustle is decent, nothing mind-blowing. Karthi brings the heat with a solid performance, no cap. Anu Emanuel? Sorry, but she's kinda putting us to sleep. Sunil does his thing like always, so mad props to him.

    Now, peep this: the locations, sets, and fits are on point-props to the crew for that. Cinematography? Straight fire. Background music? It bumps. Should you check it? Nah, but if you catch it, keep them expectations in check, you feel me?

    Don't watch this movie.

    This is by far the worst movie I've watched in my entire life. I cannot believe that an actor like Karthi would choose to make a movie like this. It does not even fall into the category of 'so bad that it's good'. This movie is horrible at every aspect and must be avoided at all costs.

    There is no progression to the story, nothing to look forward to. There's loud background music at every step of the way and too many unnecessary sub plots. Watching the movie honestly felt like a punishment. I couldn't even sit through the entire duration of the movie. My humble request to everyone would be to watch any movie other than this.

    I was so disappointed by the movie that I had to write a review on it (also happens to be my first IMDb review).

    Buffoonery written all over: awful, distasteful and an edgelord attempt!

    This movie is one of the prime examples of enduring oneself in cinematic torture, and I find myself envying those who had the foresight to download this film instead of wasting their time and money at the theatre. I wish the critically acclaimed Raju Murugan didn't indulge in pleasuring himself with visual appeal over narrative coherence.

    This is solely made for the sake of aesthetic buffoonery. The gags are not organic, and the film feels forced from start to finish.

    I would not recommend it to anyone, even those who loves the director's previous work or the fans of actor Karthi. I know Karthi has delighted audience with his creative endeavours churning out some good to passable films. But this film is desperate to be edgy and juvenile that both the Director and cast forgot what it means to make a decent cinema.

    In closing, this is a film that will make you wish you could get back the time you wasted watching it. Those who are planning, Run far, far away and reclaim those precious minutes of your life. You'll thank me later.

    Time And Money Waste

    Before you guys spending money on this movie, Karthi was going with the flow then suddenly I don't know why he chooses this movie worst screenplay worst storyline and acting was kind of unnatural Karthi tried a new body language and slang but it gets annoying in a while.

    GV Prakash music was ok other actors like fillers to this movie not an impactful characters.

    The movie mixed with variety of sentiment and entertainment but it doesn't helps us to get in with the flow if you 're a expecting something big like Kaidhi or Theeran this is not the right movie overall not worth it for money I spent.
