While not a casting coup by any stretch of the imagination, director K.Subaash does manage to do something newsworthy by bringing together brothers Prabhu Deva, Raju Sundaram and Nagendra Prasad in the same movie. But he has wrongly assumed that this gimmick alone is sufficient to bring people to the theaters. The movie is supposed to be a comedy with a little dose of thrills and a rags-to-riches story thrown in. But with none of the three being fleshed out, what we are stuck with is a half-hearted comedy with few laughs, thrills that do not belong in the story and a rags-to-riches story about characters we do not care about.

Tirupathi(Prabhu Deva), a blind man, Pazhani(Raju Sundaram), who is deaf, and Chidambaram(Nagendra Prasad), a mute, are friends living together. Each of them despises the pity society showers on them after knowing their handicap and so go out of their way to hide their handicap from others. Narmada(Jyotika) joins them as a friend but unknown to them, has a hidden agenda. But once she realises her anger is misplaced, she begins to help them out, tapping their talents and helping them become successful. All three end up falling in love with her but she loves Tirupathi.

For a little while, it looks like the director's idea of making his lead men handicapped pays off in a comic way. There is some good choreography in the scenes where the three communicate with each other or with Jyothika, leading to many funny moments. As Prabhu Deva continues talking after the others have left the scene or Raju Sundaram repeats exactly what someone else said without hearing him, there are some genuine laughs. But these jokes naturally run out of steam soon and the director then has nothing to pad the remaining two hours.

In Sabaash, the director messed up a potentially engaging thriller with unsuitable comedy. Here he takes the opposite route, trying to spice the comedy movie up with a few thrills. While Jyothika's ulterior motive comes as a surprise, the track is resolved too soon and in the lamest manner possible. The director suggests that a murderer could be released because no one knows that the witness who said he didnt see the crime is actually blind!!

Such unrealistic scenarios abound in the latter portions where the trio become successful too. Thankfully, the director doesn't dwell for too long on their success and proceeds to the 'love quadrilateral'. There's nothing new here either and the director resorts to all standard cliches like misunderstandings and sacrifices to stretch things out. The climax as always takes place in a railway station and tests our patience.

Prabhu Deva is his usual self, putting on the innocent look. Raju Sundaram is hyperactive and hams up most of his scenes but he does generate more laughs that Nagendra Prasad, who barely makes an impression. Jyothika looks cute but has no scope to perform. Karunas has been in only a few movies so far but is already seeming repetitive. With the three 'dancing brothers' headlining the cast, the opportunity was there for some fast, peppy tunes that utilised their dancing talents. But Deva lets us down in a big way with none of the songs worth listening to even once.
