The movie has a fair bit of glitters. And to be honest if more effort was put into pre-production essentially the writing, the end result would have left a lasting impact. The Europe tour served no purpose to the storyline. The narrative scores a brownie point on unfolding the past sin just before intermission. Maintaining the format of his earlier outings, for format of the climax is expected to be "comedy of errors" culminating into a madcap laugh-riot. Safe to say it had enough scope for better writing.
Madhavan:: I am certain that his fans would demand a justify his reason to be associated with this project.
Trisha:: Her character has scope to display variety of emotions and she pulls it off effortlessly. Her affinity towards "Johnny English" detective had scope for improvement as it comes across more like "love out of pity".
Kamal Hassan:: As always expectations ride high to see the maestro pull a rabbit out the hat. There are no doubts on his acting capabilities. But on the multiple hat he dons for the project as a writer, he seriously need to re-think. Best left to the worthy and concentrate on what he does best.
Sangeetha: Offers some good post-marital advice on how to be loser and yet portray a victorious winner.
If there is a reason you should watch the movie, its for the flashback sequence shot in a single song in reverse. Yes - it certainly deserves kudos!

Good story,tight screenplay,decent direction,nice music and excellent acting makes this kamal hassan starrer a must watch. PLOT:Madanagopal/Madan (Madhavan), a wealthy entrepreneur, suspects that his girlfriend, actress Ambujakshi alias Ambu (Trisha) may be having affairs with her colleagues in the film industry. To that end, he hires private detective Major Raja Mannar (Kamal Haasan) to follow her when she goes on a European cruise for a vacation. Mannar accepts, as he desperately needs money to pay the hospital bills of his friend Rajan (Ramesh Arvind), who is afflicted with cancer, and his wife Mallika (Urvashi). Contrary to Madanagopal's suspicions, Ambujakshi is loyal and virtuous; when Mannar reports this, Madan refuses to pay him as his suspicions were unfounded.Disappointed, Mannar to save his dying friend Rajan fabricates a story and tells Madan that she is having a secret affair during her trip. In the process, he introduces himself as a tourist to Ambu, her friend Deepa (Sangeetha) and Deepa's children, and becomes close to the group. A good comedy which has its heart in the right place.Trisha is pretty and has performed well but the real strong performances comes from madhavan and sangeetha.Last but not the least kamal hassan as usual is the best.After the badly done movies like dasavatharam and aadhavan,k s ravikumar has returned with a winner.
The movie was excellent. Kamal Haasan amazing acting. Madhavan also acted very good in the movie. There is many humor and comedy scenes which are so funny.
The film is super funny! I laughed so much during the film I had a stomach ache! A good comeback of this combo! The 4th movie of the Maddy-Kamal combo! K.S.Ravikumar nothing to say he sculpted the film! The song Neela Vaanam, I don't know whose idea it was but good idea !! Trisha did not give everything to play her role well, because in many other films she plays very well but not this film! Madhavan still a good actor in Tamil cinema! I don't know why this film has become an average, when it deserves to be a superhit !!
Manmadhan ambu is a classic example of talent gone waste. It has a wafer thin story line & is a pathetic attempt at comedy.
Kamal haasan is a good actor but he should stick to just that. Wonder what madhavan was doing in this movie. Trisha speaks in her own voice for the first & the last time in a film. Being a tamilian, wonder why her tamil is so bad! Urvasi has been totally wasted.
It is only sangeetha who tries to salvage the film with her performance.
The malayali duo irritate. DSP's music is crap.
Kamal looks like Trisha's dad, with his unshaven look.
One of the worst films of kamal & no wonder it bombed badly at the box office.
