    One rare tamil movie. Watch it!
    The review by user 'darbar' said it all. This movie: - is radically different (in a good way) from all other tamil movies - contains excellent acting by everyone. I thought Kovai Sarala especially carried the movie forward very well - doesn't involve the usual over-the-board acting or script as is common in other tamil movies - has an *excellent* script by Crazy Mohan - does not include an outlandish plot, scenes or dialogue, as is common in other tamil movies - has an excellent sense of comedy, both spoken and acted - is worth watching multiple times All in all, as you can see, it's the complete opposite of most other tamil movies. Watch it!
