Never intended to watch this movie. Thought it might be some boring stuff. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not only a good movie but also had me in splits for most part.

The movie opens to a slow pace with some dumb cracks here and there. Just as my doubts were soaring, the sudden turn of events and the non-stop pace after that, make this film a worthy watch.

Other than Nayan, Saranya and Yogi Babu, not many known faces which adds to the reality touch. Weird faces and characters make the movie so next door. No glam. No sham. No item numbers. No dishyum dishyum. It is black humour. But I love humour in any colour. Laughed so much that my head starting hurting.

#AnbuThaasan - what a find! His hysterical love for sweetheart leaves the audience laughing hysterically whenever he appears. This guy will go a long way!

Next to #AandavanKattalai, this is one good movie for Yogi Babu. He has done full justice. #Saranya rocks! Certain things about her ailment and the way she behaves are not believable. But ok to ignore all this for the kind of entertainment that the movie provides. Saravanan has a small but effective role. Well portrayed!

Guess #Nayan’s performance is overrated. Her expressions are good. But why does she behave like the #Kadhambari character in #NannumRowdyDhan. IMHO, she could have done much better.

Music by #Anirudh is good in parts. In some places it is unwanted and jarring.

#NelsonDilipkumar - debutant director???? Wow! A very delicate subject handled with a lot of finesse and class direction and scripting. Kudos Sir!

Overall - worthy of a second watch (so we pick up on the lines we lost while laughing) 😂
