review
Meanwhile, a man who is ready to spill the bean on Thondaman's murder is chased by police commissioner Kishore. Before he is bumped off by the cops, he leaves a laptop with Azhagu and Sathya. Twists and turns leave the cops chase the duo to retrieve the laptop. The race begins as the two come to know the content in laptop throws light on the murder of Adhiyaman. What follows next is a contrived climax.
Sequences defying logics are rampant towards the latter half. The twists around the laptop are just idiotic, to say the least. A dual hero subject laced with multi-layered crime and intricacies of love could have been handled much better.
Daniel Balaji plays Azhagu that is quite typical of his earlier films. Though uncomfortable in dance and romantic sequences, Balaji hogs enough screen space. Sathya, who is introduced as a happy-go-lucky youngster, slowly fizzles out with nothing much to do on screen.
Debutante Manjari Fadnnis looks good but disappoints in her performance. She plays the typical commercial movie heroine, who has good looks and no brain. However Lakshmi Rai manages to sustain some interest with her screen presence thanks to a good blend of skin show and performance. The rest of cast including Ponvannan, Kishore and Haneefa could not leave any mark in cliched roles. The much hyped item song featuring Rakhi Sawant doesn't live up to the expectations.
Letting down the director is Yuvan Shankar Raja's musical score, which reminds one of his earlier tunes in many places. However, the songs have variety and vigour to keep the audiences glued on seats during the song sequences. A duet on Denial Balaji and Rai has been canned beautifully thanks to cinematographer Saleem and Rai's glam show. Cinematographer Saleem (Jeeva's associate) is the only clear winner in the film, catching the sequences with a touch of gloss.
