The film holds a very simple tale as in previous works of SJ Suryah. In fact, he lets loose of the plot by unveiling it at the earliest duration of this film. The title credits roll with different generation of world famous personalities in the world of sports, music and cinema. The narrative description of SJ Suryah, where he says, “When a new generation or new person comes to create revolution, it’s always a generous nature to step aside as the status we have achieved is something offered by our previous league of personalities. But sometimes, jealousy takes over and such is the case of a reigning music director (Sathyaraj) whose 30 years of fame has suddenly been snatched by Shiva (SJ Suryah) in a span of just two years.” Before the credits of SJ Suryah as story, screenplay, dialogues, direction and music would appear, the audiences are very well introduced to the plot. It happens every time we watch his films and this one isn’t an exception. Yet again, what becomes more surprising and engaging is the screenplay handled by him. The narrative style that comes with a package of his usual panoramas of romance, which might not be a cup of coffee for family audiences is quite convincing in many places. Leaving behind the naughtiness that he used to encompass in his previous films, he steps aside with a different level of relationship, but with essence of same elements. Few double entendres, glamorous zoom ups with camera lens and that extends throughout the intermission point.
The actual confrontation of situations rises during the post-intermission sequences laced with thrill elements. As we keep witnessing this thrilling drama, we slightly feel as though Vishal’s Samar is being replayed as the characterizations and its mysteries give such an impression. The first half has some light moments, which would entertain the frontbenchers, but the taut narration in second half, especially the last 30 minutes till the climax is brilliantly written.
Sathyaraj brings up the iconic spell with best performance. Savithiri has given scrupulous efforts over her characterization and even her lip synch with dubbing goes well. SJ Suryah as usual attracts the audiences with his funny-hysterical performance.
Musically, SJ Suryah garners good response to his background score and for the rest with songs, they are decently okay.
Although, the film is laced with some sluggish moments in the first half, the latter part of this film with climax that is unimaginably surprising, it offers a wholesome package of good entertainment to audiences.
Verdict: SJ Suryah as filmmaker and screenwriter bounces back
