Sadly, their performances also make the lead characters less interesting. Aari, who looks radically different from the lover boy in Maalai Pozhuthin Mayakkathiley, tries his best to make Murugan a badass but the character lacks charisma and we don’t really empathise with him as much as we should. Manga is a little better. She isn’t an unscrupulous person (she passes off beef as mutton in her dhaba and in one scene, we see her stealing from a vendor) but her character becomes like that of a typical filmi heroine when she falls in love with Murugan.
