Warning: Do not look for storyline, logic or soothing BGM or songs!
The movie, as promoted, is a romantic comedy or perhaps can be precisely categorized as comical romance. I personally do not find any romantic ingredient. Apparently, the script has been made keeping Santhanam in mind. The entire script revolves around Santhanam and the frame looks empty and colorless without him.. At some point it creates an impression that even the names of characters were made such that they go along with the comedy track.
The movie apparently is a full-fledged comedy movie and does not contain any pinch of romance, as said earlier, mainly due to weak casting and weaker storytelling. Much emphasis is given to the comedy and dialogues, and there are quite a number of Kollywood-style scenes and many of them do not connect each other.
The Director of SMS and Boss Engira Baskaran could have slightly modified the pattern, but the movie all-in-all looks like a replica of SMS or BEB, with the only exception of casting. Arya, Sneha, Andrea have made guest appearances but they disappear from the screen in no time without creating little to no impact and add little to no value to the movie.
Songs: Below average numbers, though 2 or 3 of them sound good, but the familiarity of tunes, genre and theme make them sound boring.
Casting: Hanshika "Mottu"wani was not a good choice as far as the script and hero material goes. She looks bulky and her costumes could have been much better so that she did not look fatso on-screen.
Plus Factor: Santhanam, Dialogues and timings again by Santhanam. Santhanam has tried to veer off from his usual style and is bombarding with different style or pattern from frame to frame. Santhanam's costume looks hilarious. Noteworthy is cinematography which was above the mark compared to other areas in the movie. The cinematographer tried very hard to enhance the song sequences with eye-catching backdrops.
Minus Factor: Hero material, dance sequences, Hanshika Motwani - Many would disagree with me on this, because the whole crowd in the theater seemed so excited and cheered for her. Choreography is another big minus to this movie and clearly failed to create some cute movements.
This movie has many unique well-timed comedy bits which drives the whole crowd nuts.
Overall, this movie is just another feel-good time-pass one and is a perfect meal for one who enjoys well-timed comedy bits and fun gags. The movie is little short of a hilarious comedy, due to lot of unwanted dramatic bits throughout.
On a Rating Scale: 0-5
Rating: 3
