Story

The title is inspired by one of yesteryear’s superhit movie and looks to rebound success in somewhat similar manner. Ashok Selvan plays a viscom graduate who works for a mediocre media company “Top TV”. After working in Soodhu Kaavum and Thegidi, this is Ashok’s first straight solo comedy movie, of course aided by Jagan who happens to be his colleague in the media company he works. For the first half hour you wonder what the director is up to, shuttling between two themes; a guy who hits on almost all of his sister’s friends and his antics and the other being the endless attempts to revive a TV channel which is plagued with mediocre programs.

Somehow after seeing Ashok Selvan as a brilliant detective in Thegidi, his antics to become a Romeo and impress Bindhu madhavi takes time to accept, through the first half he keeps hitting on her without luck, much to his sister’s frustration. The director could have given the extra jazz in the romance segment, as after multiple attempts the hero tries to woo his ladylove the routine could have made little more interesting for the viewers. Jagan just keeps to keep the audience alive with his one liners and tidbits which give away for some laughs here and there.

The TV show’s MD is one of Kollywood’s finest comedian Karunaas, he does nothing comical in this movie but rather delivers a fiery dialogue on the lost art of “Koothu” and for a moment we are left emotional and lost in thoughts on his insights, surely one of the best scenes for an actor of his caliber, but that said we expect the film to kick off and take the momentum, but some ordinary narration lets the script, screenplay, direction and everything down. Kollywood has seen several Dad’s, Mom’s, Grandfather’s helping the hero’s love in a rather unconventional way and here is Paravai Muniama returning onscreen after a long time as Ashok’s grandmother who drinks along with her grandson and takes a step ahead in helping out his love.
