IMDb Rating: 7.9/10
Mithran Jawahar and Dhanush reunite once again for a simple movie that isn’t a remake but borrows heavily from another Dhanush movie, VIP. Despite the similarities, the movie manages to have its own personality because of the environment Mithran portrays in his writing, notably the 4 major characters who make a great impression. Another brilliant move is to cast quality actors. Dhanush wonderfully reveals his naive side. While Prakash Raj continues to show why he is among the greatest, Bharathiraja, who plays the grandpa, receives just the appropriate number of emotional scenes to perform. But Nithya Menen, who talks just with her eyes throughout the entire movie, is the true star of this production. What an actress!
