The caption for this movie is : " Sathiyama idhu oru vithyasamaana padam alla " (meaning: Promise, this is not a different kind of film) .And that is what the movie is all about.
Please don’t go in search of the story of the movie.. its nothing but all that you have seen in the last 25 years in Tamil movies. The movie banks on the loopholes in tamil cinema (for that matter, these loopholes are there all over Indian movies) and the unexplained assumptions prevailing in cinemas , like for ex: (in tamil movies): Baby gets dumped into a goods train in a village and the train goes only to Chennai. Small boy is pedalling the cycle and as the titles are shown, he grows into a man. Hero becomes rich through one inspiring song, selling milk, newspaper etc., All the typical characters, the famous "Naataamai", the incredible "Sombu" etc., Not a single actor has been spared, and not a single hit movie has been left out. Starting from Ramarajan’s ’Shenbagame’, via Dhalapathy, Kaadalan, Annamalai, Citizen, Chandramukhi, Gajini, Mozhi till Shivaji and much more.. the typical scenes of famous movies have been spoofed. When it comes to cast performance for such a comedy movie, even if the acting is not good, it doesn’t show up. But Siva has done a great job , with his gifted dialogue delivery style and body language. He is in almost all frames and that , for him , is a huge promotion from his past movies Chennai 28 & Saroja where he played one among the heroes.
Background music is excellent considering the tough requirement, because, it needs to remind the audience of the movie that is being teased, without playing the original tune. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, one can easily guess the amount of hardwork interms of creativity that has been put in, and what one is going to expect throughout the movie. And there are some twists and surprises too.. which will only increase the laughter, as that too is common element in cinemas.
This movie is strictly for Tamil movie fans - those who have followed tamil movies all the way from the 80’s. All other periodic tamil movie viewers - please stay away. Coz., if you don’t know which movie or actor is being teased, you will not enjoy it at all..! There is no point in complaining later. To end in typical Naayagan style
" Naalu Paeru sirikanum’na yaara’vaena kalaaikalaam..!!" :-) Be ready to get stomach pains, coughs and even headaches by laughing continuously for more than 2 hours.
To Watch out for: The melodious song which is a remix of all the non-understandable terms like "Dailamo, Omahashiya, etc.," is a good attempt.. and you are made to laugh in the songs also..!!
