    Good movie

    Pros : Good acting, direction, screenplay. Cons : Stale story, Ineffective dialogues. I watched this movie only for Late Sai Prashanth ,Kaali Venkat and Ashok Selvan. I concept of an brilliant detective getting used by fake detective agency for criminal act is not new. I have seen such story in malayalam movies and Hollywood also. However, I appreciate the acting skills and tight direction. However, instead of putting songs, the producer could have spend money on story-building.

    Waiting for sequel

    Nice movie. I think the story is simple no too much build up or exaggeration. I am waiting for the sequel

    Cool and Thrilling

    Ratings : 4/5 ! Must watch ! Miss it at your own risk !

    Pros : Plot,Execution,Screenplay,Acting,Editing,Excellent Background score ! Cons : Nothing big but dialogues could have been a bit better.

    Hindu : Thegidi-License to thrill ! India Today : Must watch thriller.

    First of its kind movie in Tamil cinema with Hollywood style making and handling yet again from new artists.Technically sleeky and cool ! Perfect screenplay and a clean movie without any unwanted elements. Acting is flawless ! Ashok selvan(Lead) is yet another rising star ! (another guy's acting as his friend is worth mentioning). Background score is Excellent and well synchronized with the mood of the movie and songs are perfect.

    Its for people who like movies (rather than actors or actresses). Finally Worth every penny you spend !

    Bottomline : Experience the freshness of this flawless quality film

    Rocking movie !

    Good movie

    I recommend this anyone.

    The song "vinmeen" is really nice also the acting and story even though few minor errors were seen.

    Overall movie is good but few scenes are predictable and feels like poorly written.

    Also it would be great if there was perfect ending. Because even after more 10 years no sequel is there.
