I had doubts whether I could overcome watching Sivakarthikeyan as male lead. But its good to see he is in the field where he can be compared to the stars he makes fun of. I think this role was tailor made for Vimal. Director Ezhil took a big chance using a TV comedian as a male lead in movie but it paid off. Sivakarthikeyan fits as the useless son who gives dad more grey hairs on the head.
Heroine is very stereotype, she reminds a lot of the female lead in Milaga (which no one else watched). As usual playing hard to get despite the love she has for the male lead.
Biggest plusses are comedy and songs. Singamuthu and the bearded guy I saw in Velayutham, Sreenath, Chams and villain brother makes it enjoyable when the movie is getting a tad boring.
D Imaan is very good at moment, all songs are suits the mood of the movie.
Kudos to Ezhil to make a simple and neat village based movie.
