A guy who kidnaps for a living has the conviction that ‘Blind arrogance’ can be of great help in his profession. He recruits 3 friends who are in helpless positions in life. Their strategy of kidnapping low-profile people is revised when they greedily attempt to kidnap the son of a minister. The minister doesn’t budge and brings a psycho-cop from some other town to nab the culprits. The cop chases the guys down and things go haywire as all of them go behind Kaasu, Panam, Dhuttu, Money money!

What’s Hot
- The film is such a riot because of the treatment it gets. It is casually serious, laughably intense and more of such oxymorons would define it well!
- It is one thing to watch, enjoy a Guy Ritchie crazy film and quite another to make a regional film of that kind which succeeds! Claps to Nalan and team for doing exactly that.
- Vijay Sethupathy and his novice kidnap team members, Ashok Selvan, Simha & RJ Ramesh literally bring the roof down with their antics. Kudos to Vijay Sethupathi for accepting such a role so early in his career.
- MS Bhaskar does quite well as the honest politician and Yog Japee is a nice fit for the psycho cop with little or no expressions at all! The other supporting cast such as MS Bhaskar’s son (Karunakaran), MS Bhaskar’s spouse, the rowdy doctor etc add more spice to the proceedings.
- Sanchita Shetty relives that ‘Mr.Brooks’ role & is such a delight when she makes sarcastic comments sitting by Vijay’s side/ on his lap(!) and when Vijay asks her to change costumes etc.
- Santosh Narayanan’s unconventional BGM and songs gel very well with the script with the song ‘Kaasu, Panam, Dhuttu, Money money’ acquiring cult status.
What’s Not
- Towards the end, the film sags a bit as there is not much left leading to a repetition of events.
