1. K. Balaji, no thanks to typecasting himself as bad guy in his own films, still looked dishonest right at the end...where I believe they cut the part, "Okay, I was kidding. Radha you marry me, guys kill Gopi (NT)". Maybe not :?
2. The kid, mercifully, was not annoying that must have been a tough thing to do. Maybe he (she?) had a lesson with Kamal. One too many "Run, forrest, run" scenes.
3. KVM was so and so here, probably pressured to copy one of the Hindi original. Poor Mama. Other songs are okay, but not great.
4. NT gave his all, and that's what he can do with poor writing. Though, I took note of one scene where NT was NT. It was him meeting his ex-lover, and her father, after a long time. While Manjula and VKR was giving the off-the-grocery-store " :shock:" expression, he gave a slight register of shock, then a realisation that things were sour in the first place, and brief sadness before recovering. All these in two seconds!! And when seeing VKR, same but with anger. Also in very short time. Nuance-na ithutaan nuance. It maybe a mediocre film, but nobody can prevent him from giving his best.
5. Like I said, overall a mediocre film that could be intolerable if someone else played the lead.
