The dialogues seem generally well thought-out. When Dhanush gets arrested at his girlfriend’s house, he makes a wry comment about the irony of him telling his mom that he was leaving to his ‘maamiyaar veedu.’ There’s also a cute reference to ‘Mersalayitten’ that leaves the audience cheering. As for cheering, take your earmuffs to the theatre, for, you won’t believe the explosion of noise when ‘Danga Maari’, the superhit song of the film, begins playing. People confuse the theatre with a discotheque (at least did, when I watched it in Devi). Also admirable is the nonchalance with which Karthik delivers English lines throughout the film. It doesn’t seem to matter that a section of the audience may not get all his lines. The temptation to go the Major Sundararajan way (repeating English lines in Tamil) is impressively resisted, even as he mouths line after line, dipped in American accent.
