Humour doesn't need logic

[sridharan · 7/10 · 25 January 2007]

A film that contains no logic but an entertaining movie.

God of death Yama (Kowndamani) and his assistant (Senthil) come to earth in search of a book that got lost from their world. The books contains details of who should die , when. Without the book, Yama is not able to carryout his duty of snatching lives of humans on their due dates.

The book gets into the hand of Karthik (Gopi) who hides it as he finds that his mother's due date of death has arrived. Also he becomes rich with the help of the book that gives him clues like which lottery number will fetch him the prize and which horse will win the race...

Add to this the comedy of Senthil's encounters with police, the villain's interest's in secret behind Karthik's sudden richness........

Total time pass

Pratap Pothen and Karthik make an enjoyable combo . This is a fantasy film for entire family viewing . So happy go lucky Karthik is the son of the royal family which is today fallen in bad times . His mother Manjula ( still pretty and eye catching ) often thinks of those by gone days . She is worried about her waylaid son and his inheritance . He wants to earn 1 crore to buy back their ancestral palace . He keeps doing bits and bobs to collect and save that much money. He chances upon a celestial book through which he comes to know his future . He wins a a huge lottery and earns back his palace . He places his mother back in her abode . Paralallely Yama and Chitragupta descend from the heavens above to search for their missing accounts book . Senthil and Goundarmani form a loveable team as awkward bumbling creatures on this earth . They keep crossing paths with Karthik with a lot of fun ,frolic , confusions , misunderstandings and turmoils . Meanwhile Karthik realises that its that book Yama is pursuing . This book shows every one's future . Radha Ravi is the local comic don .Pretty Sanghavi the heroine has nothing much to do except dance and act well. The movie of course belongs totally to Karthik. starting from his light chirpy dialogue delivery to dances to fights , all are a delight . his receding hairline is conspicuous . He should have made more such cheerful movies . It also has some hummable songs .
