The film reeks of stereotypes! The movie emphasis the stereotype, if the girl says NO, she secretly means YES. Siva keeps asking Keerthy ‘Epo Okay Solluve,’ there is no question of not accepting him, it is just a matter of when she will accept it. Siva’s mother played by Saranya Ponvannan, tells him, ‘Boys do not cry,’ when he faces rejection from Keerthy Suresh. To this Sivakarthikeyan retorts, to much whistle from the crowd, saying, ‘Ask girls not to make boys cry.’ There is also a Tasmac song with the lyrics ‘Kavya No Vena Ya,’ and bashing the girl for saying NO to the hero.
Debutante director, Bakkiyaraj Kannan has wasted the resources offered by the producer, R.D. Raja, by just relying on good visuals and music for the film’s success. The screenplay is draggy, dialogues are lengthy and one can see that the film is sinking if not for Sivakarthikeyan. He is honest, sincere, has a great screen presence and has put in a lot of effort for his role. Keerthy Suresh does justice to her role, which just requires her to being ‘beautiful and cute.’
The film is technically sound with amazing visuals by PC Sreeram that compliments Anirudh’s music and Raju Sundaram’s choreography. Resul Pookutty’s sound design and Ruben’s editing are distinctively clear. These are some of the positive aspects of the film. But the movie is predictable, has no logic whatsoever which are its biggest shortcomings.
One time watch if you are a Sivakarthikeyan fan!
