Despite all the flaws in the film, Idoh - The dog carries the film on its shoulders (??). A welcome change from the usual mass and comedy entertainers. Not many films have spoken about canines in the recent past and this film manages to do that to some extent.

Sibiraj plays second fiddle to Idoh. And he is also gracious enough to make his name appear after Idoh's in the opening credits. Dharan Kumar's bgm was apt.

On the downside, the villain was too comical. Instead of chosing a menacing artist, they've settled for Balaji, who evokes only laughter and not fear. And there were no reasons behind his crimes.

A 120 minute duration helps the movie to look racy and if you are a dog lover, you can give it a try.
