    6/10
    Typical Commercial Hari movie
    After his Singam duology, expectations were quiet high on this movie being a Vishal starer who is already riding on the success of Paandiyanadu and Naan Sigappu Manidhan. But this was much of the same typical Hari formula with some turns in the movie which won't keep you bored.

    Positives: Vishal - the main character is important for this story and he does justice to the role. BGM - although there are many repeats in songs and BGM, the latter fills the gaps which is quiet good here. Shruthi's role is important here and there is scope for acting. Thats good.

    Negatives: Placing of songs is very usual and slows down the pace. Screenplay could have been better and acting of some characters are unrealistic and not up to normal level itself. Dialogues could have been made crisp instead of same old formula for dialogues. Fight scenes could have been made realistic.

    Although the movie is usual one, it wont make you tired or bored. Definitely Worth for first try but not more than that!

    Rating - 6/10. If placing of songs and Dialogues were very good 7/10.

    Its a pucca family entertainer package. If you love commercial movies, Go for it!!
