After a very long time Mouli is making a film in Tamil and for the 10th
time Kamal and Crazy Mohan reunite to make this movie. That being the
case, expectations sprout automatically. Having taken charge of story-screenplay and direction, Mouli had spun a beautiful story with a very finely balanced dose of comedy and sentiment and had woven a very realistic, natural screenplay thus creating a subtle and beautiful vein of laughter. Kamal and Simran are matrimony-phobic. When they get down to separate Abbas and Sneha, clash starts. At a point where Simran operates on her rescues Kamal, she stitches his belly up, accidentally leaving her watch inside. A comedy riot ensues. She finds herself pushed to the role of Kamal's ladylove and towards the end, married him amidst all fun and hoopla. Love confusions are fine in a comedy movie, but a grandpa yearns to get Kamal married away and family atmospheres make this a surprising formula. In the beginning, it a slight drag with the scenes predominantly revolving around Abbas - Sneha driftlings apart. Real pace, fun and laughter begins after Simran stitches Kamal's belly up with her alarm, which accidentally left behind in his stomach cavity. ("Watch in the belly? Then hunger will strike at precisely the right time" goes a dialogue!) The physical alterations that Kamal had undergone for 'Nandu' had greatly helped his stunt double Sambandham.  When Simran shuns
him, Kamal with gasps, asks her, "I know you've got cancer and
you're going to die in another month. That's why you're avoiding me
aren't you, with all genuine innocence. The scene conveys its contagious
sorrow excellently.After 'Vaali', this the only movie where Simran gets to show her acting skills. The required expressions appear in seconds. Savitha's dubbing had added strength to her acting (Maybe Roja's made her famous remark after watching this movie!) Abbas-Sneha's character take off at the speed of Jet aircrafts to be landed finally as 'mission aborted'. The Australian job to separate/unite them only adds confusion. After Kamal and Mouli all credits are due to 'Crazy' Mohan. The 'Keep left' phrase had been so innovatively analysed and interpreted in a new way. If samples are anything to go by, this is the best one to give the viewer the idea of what's in store. His dialogues tickle the audience tirelessly till the very end. Among Deva's songs, three are enjoyable. But a constant 'Yendi Choodamani' background track in a rasping old voice is very annoying. Simran trying to draw Kamal toward her with an ulterior motive to retrieve the watch in his belly and Kamal falling in love with her because of this are all part of a strategy to spin a good screenplay for a beautiful comedy. But Simran telling Kamal that she doesn't even like to see his face and her falling in love with him subsequently is slightly indigestible. But, with director Mouli handling even this humourously had helped the movie conclude on a cheerful note.
