Good Movie. Gautham Karthik, RJ Balaji are the main highlights in the movie. RJ Balaji's comedy scenes were also good. Songs and BGM in the movie were worst. The movies has a good message at the end but the movie bored a lot.

The thrills are lacking, the comedy works in parts! [+42%]

The storyline is something that reminds you of early Shankar films. An ordinary youth looks to take down a corrupt politician utilizing modern technology, albeit in a very Hollywood manner (bug cameras, GPS trackers in currency notes, virtual dashboards and so on).

The film opens pretty fascinatingly. Sakthi is held captive by a bunch of ruffians, forced to snort cocaine and we go into flashback mode. The comedy by RJ Balaji works when it isn't trying to be misogynistic. His lengthy monologues on the plight of engineering students and entrepreneurship bring the house down. Shraddha Srinath's presence makes the film a better watch. The romance portions are not as queasy as they seem. The lead pair do a decent job at that. The antagonists though, are one-note and clichéd.

The inconsistency in writing is evident in many scenes (especially how the politician tackles an adverse situation and how some of the supporting characters are drawn up). Overall, this R Kannan flick is a strictly mediocre affair, catering to an unthinking audience.
