Performances-
Vijay seems like he is back to his natural habitat of entertainment and comedy and charms his audience with his one-liners and impressive performance. Whereas Rashmika seems like an addition to the film just to fulfill the requirement of a lead for the hero to romance and dance with. Prakash raj being the great actor he is has done the best he could with the weak dialogues and narrative.
Other actors like Jayasudha, Sarath Kumar Prabhu, Shaam, and Srikanth have tried their best to entertain the audience. But there could be better dialogues and punches for them. Yogi babu and his match with Vijay is what you don’t want to miss, the pair has not left any chance to make the audience smile.
Verdict –
It’s a light humor-masala movie made for the pure purpose of entertainment and can be a good choice to be watched with family this festive season.
