The original film worked to a great extent due to the rural flavor, but this remake is robbed of that and there is only a sense of déjà vu in most of the scenes especially the long drawn out election episodes. The film fails to impress as a whole due to the inconsistent screenplay and the 80s style presentation. The team could have done well if they had taken as reference Sundar C’s ‘Kalakalappu’ and ‘Theeya Velai Seiyanum Kumaru’ or even ‘Aranmanai’ for a master class on how to perfectly balance high voltage comedy and slick film-making.
