What’s Hot
- Suresh shows some potential in a small role as a local romeo who is madly in love.
- The little segment of the movie, when the two leads debate and test whether the people of Chennai are worth their lives, shows some spark.
- Kudos to editor A.L.Ramesh, who has attempted an interesting transition pattern for showing time shifts in the narrative.
- The music director, D.J.Gopinath, has some potential and his songs sound good.
What’s Not
- The two male leads, Jai Bala and Vijaya Kumar, are newcomers. Jai speaks like a robot and there are these odd pauses when he utters his lines. He has several pages of dialogues and these pauses prove unsettling. Vijaya Kumar has the typical ‘son of the soil’ looks, but has a long way to go to make it as a hero.
- It is baffling to see why an actress of potential, Iniya, accepts such a movie where her presence is totally inconsequential. One just hopes that good offers reach her doorstep.
- Ganja Karuppu appears in a couple of scenes where he is supposed to make us laugh.
- There are multiple scenes where foreign languages are used and the subtitles for these scenes disappear in a jiffy, before we can even register them.
- The two inexplicably amateurish romance tracks, a steamy little segment before the interval and omnipresent song-dance routines, have been dumped on the film hastily to try to sell it and it results in a tiresome movie viewing experience.
