Entertaining to the core, this is another in a line of commercial Rajinikanth movies. Rajini is certainly the typical hero who can do no wrong! The usual Rajini magic with his one-liner (roughly translated as: My way is unique), stunts and songs about how grateful he is to Tamil Nadu and the people who have given him his fame are all there in this movie. Soundarya is rather aptly cast as the sweet servant who captures Rajini's heart. The real highlight is Ramya Krishnan as the villain. She plays the role of an egotistical and haughty woman who falls in love with the hero and has to deal with his rejection and ultimate marriage to her servant and yet remains undefeated! All in all, typical "masala"!

Excellent Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were excellent. The movie was not at all boring. This movie is one of the Best Movie of Rajinikanth and K. S. Ravikumar. Excellent Movie.
Being a 90s kid while this movie was released it was like a festival. Even now if you watch the film is fresh. One could not ask for more from Rajnikanth. Such a splendid style that goes hand in hand with his dialogues and ARR music. So much of plot in the movie. A very well written family drama with lot of Goosebumps moments. One can go and watch it and feel energetic.
The movie is designed to please Rajni lovers. It is action packed and full of Rajni mannerisms and AR Rehman songs. What is amazing about this movie is that Rajni's antagonist in this movie is Ramya Krishnan and blow for blow she matches Rajni's style in her own way and you get a perfect villain for Rajni here. Fun movie and a good watch till the end.
