Vishal's character is a detective, badly shaped after Sherlock Holmes. And Prasanna's, after Dr. Watson. Just that Prasanna doesn't limp, but the story more than does! A very bad catch-me-if-you-can tale, made on a high budget. The action scenes are ridiculous and we were all giggling in the movie-hall. Even at Vishal's hamming all through. The funny thing is that the film was so bad that the audiences gave up right after the opening scene and giggled right through this disaster.
At one point, detective Vishal gives us gyan saying even a fifth grader would know that light travels faster than sound. I ask him, wouldn't a third grader know that the acting is terrible and that this film is ridiculous...?! How could they even pass this one off at the editing table?!!
It looks like Vishal woke up one morning, felt sadistic, and took an oath: that he would torture the audiences with a pathetic film. And that too at a high cost! (For he himself produces this film. He probably had too much cash, as the production seems high-budget.)
Wonder if this one is as bad as Vivegam, in terms of senselessness. I had made an excellent choice of not watching Vivegam, but going by some positive reviews, went and watched this. (Wonder if Vishal paid movie reviewers to give some positive reviews for this one...) Terrible is an understatement!
From a man that has given us films like Pisasu (which I thoroughly enjoyed) and Mugamoodu and Anjathe, this is a terrible disappointment. Maybe he was just being a puppet to Vishal's cash-flow (read production).
Vinay, of Ullaasam Ullaasam fame, is a frikkin' stone, with deadpan expressions.
I can imagine the acting workshop must have been a disaster, and the director banging his head on the wall, as no one acts here, besides Prasanna - sadly in a sidekick role. Veteran actor Bhagyaraj must have done this just for the paycheck.
My verdict: 0.5 out of five. Don't make the mistake of watching this... even if someone pays you!
