    they don't make movies like this anymore

    This is a fantastic tamil film. this makes me so nostalgic. fantastic performances by everyone - navdeep, sameeksha, prakash raj but especially arya. great music, krishna adds fantastic comical element in his role. unique story - vishnuvardhan hasn't made this good of a film ever again

    A good comedy

    A lot of new faces, with a veteran (Prakashraj) have really created magic. The plot is different and moved briskly, without undue stagnation. The screenplay and dialogs have been handled well. Prakashraj, as always, has delivered a sterling performance, and is ably supported by newcomers Navdeep and Arya. Both the young men appear perfect for the parts- Navdeep looking like the innocent and delicate young man, with Arya looking like a thug in the making. Samiksha looks vacant but thankfully, her role is not key to the happenings. The humor keeps this fast paced movie very lively and is very enjoyable. The story seems to meander along in the first half, but picks up pace soon and is racy all the way to the end. The climax is a little expected, but no less enjoyable. The songs are an unexpected bonus- melodious and very well pictured. Definitely a couple of hours that are worth it!
