Pandiraj’s dialogues are, thankfully, still sharp, and if the film feels alive, it is mainly because of these lines and the truth in them, and the optimistic outlook of the film. And he also extracts good performances from his child leads, who have an impish charm that makes them hard to resist. The film will certainly appeal to an undemanding viewer, but given that we are talking about a filmmaker who has set the bar quite high, the failings in the film override its plusses and it is the duty of a discerning viewer to call out on this fact so that he doesn’t settle for mediocrity next time.
