Analysis of the film
As usual, Santhanam, who used to act only in comedy, is doing the opposite in this film and impresses the fans. Santhanam gets along with the character as a sentiment mixed with reality, a way of understanding the situation and acting. Kavi, Harish, Yuvraj, Nameeta Krishnamurthy who came as youngsters have all acted according to their characters.

The heroine Athulya Chandra's performance is okay. As usual, Pradeep Rawat has acted as a villain to attract the fans. Maryam George has done her role perfectly. All other characters stand out. The plot taken by director Ratnakumar is commendable.

Although many of the comedic scenes are enjoyable, some comedic scenes are not taken. While the first half lags a bit in the screenplay, the second half is brisk. The climax scene in particular is splashy. Santhosh Narayanan's songs and background music add strength to the film. Cinematography by Vijay Karthik Kannan is amazing. Editing by Philomin Raj.

The movie succeeds well overall in conveying its central message while attempting to defy expectations. When dealing with problems, it makes you laugh, laugh, and weep, and it makes you laugh, laugh, and laugh when plans fail. If you don't question the staged events, this movie promises to be harmless fun.
