What Works?
- After a film like Raajapaatai, anything sensible would be a decent return to form for director Suseendhiran & in being sensibly handled, this film is exactly that!
- The sequences following the pregnancy have been handled quite refreshingly & the reminder of the film has a lot of interesting scenes.
- Performance-wise, the veterans lead the pack with Jayachandran & the woman who plays his wife performing very well. The Heroine, Manisha Yadav, is not far behind! The scene between the mother & daughter when the shock gets unravelled is highly applaudable.
- Yuvan Shankar Raja's music provides lively moments in the first half & the background song in the climax adds strength to the hard-hitting set of scenes.
What Doesn't?
- The hero of the film is quite bland in expressions & even his character is not very well defined.
- The first half might appeal to college going youth but there isn't much in it for the rest.
