A movie review by Balaji Balasubramaniam

| Cast: | Pandiarajan, Rasika, Karan, Manivannan, R.Sunderrajan, 'Venniraadai' Murthy |
| Music: | Deva |
| Direction: | Pandiarajan |
Pandian(Pandiarajan) comes to the city to take up a job as a bank manager and its love at first sight when he sees Mythili(Rasika), who lives opposite his house. But his initial attempts to impress her fail with his well-intentioned acts backfiring disastrously. His troubles are compounded when Sivaprakash(Karan) moves in to live with him. Though a man with several vices, he ends up getting(and taking) credit for Pandian's good acts and Mythili too starts taking a liking to him.
Movies that rely on a single plot point have to have a large number of laughs for us to overlook the repetitiveness of the events taking place. Here, the entire movie consists of the single plot device of Pandiarajan's acts being misinterpreted by Rasika and that gets tiring soon enough. Unfortunately, the comedy does nothing to elevate the movie either. Laughs are few and far apart. There are no sequences that even provide the foundation for anything funny to happen and the movie moves from one incident(of Pandiarajan being misunderstood by Rasika) to the next, relying on a few kadi jokes along the way.
While Pandiarajan attempts to gain our sympathy with his wide-eyed look, his actions only end up earning our irritation. Apart from being stupid, his character also appears heartless as he uses the money earmarked for his mother, sister, etc. in a completely useless way for the purposes of his love. The situations where he is misunderstood get more ludicrous and tasteless as the movie proceeds. While Pandiarajan's mother talking to Rasika's mother instead of Rasika seems a little funny, extending that to her husband becoming suspicious of her is tasteless and leads to some crude dialogs and scenes.
Most of the movie's laughs are contained in the final scenes. They are suitably chaotic with the actions and dialogs of the kidnappers being quite funny. Though never reaching the levels of laughter raised by the similar kidnapping fiasco in Ullathai Alli Thaa, the laughs here are welcome, especially considering the scarcity of them until then. But the tactic Pandiarajan employs to wrap things up after this is laughably illogical and we just end up being irritated by Rasika too!
Pandiarajan ambles through the movie wearing his perpetual thirutu muzhi. Buxom Rasika is adequate. Karan garners most of the acting points as the slimy character not averse to telling a few lies to get his way. Manivannan does another Kaadhal Koattai, offering ideas to help Pandiarajan woo Rasika.
