The movie started slow👎but after 15min it picked up the pace👍 from then it was blockbuster stuff till the Interval👌 super Fun.
Serious situations interlaced with comedy. The tonal shifts mostly work👍 interval 20min is terrific with the story turn and twists👌👌 Coming to second it started again with very good turn in the story👍 Emotional scenes and fun during the initial portions of second half worked for me👌
Coming to the last 30min the director chose the very brave attempt which may not connect to everyone it depends on their perception👍👎 I personally love the hero sacrifice in the climax type movies.
Pradeep and Mamithabaiju gave very energetic and emotional performances too good in their roles👏👏
Music from Sai Abhyankkar was terrific particularly the BGM👌👌👌he lived upto the expectations and will be talk of the town👌👏
Coming to director Keerthiswaran he has chosen the basic story which was routine but the path he chosen was very brave and risky for general audience. He succeeded in handling fun and emotions in equal proportions👍
He could have taken care of second half little more👎 it has huge potential but he gave an average end to the conflict👎
The first and second halves sit on completely opposite sides of the spectrum.
But the Second half the director touched high risk route and should say brave attempt.The film’s impact finally depends on how audiences take the generic last 30 minutes.
Overall good watch👍 but the scale of success depends on how the general audience receive the subject. I personally feel it will be commercial super hit for sure👍
