However, to get to this point, we are forced to spend the entire first half watching the cat-and-mouse fight between Karthick and Mellina. Vijay Antony (whose expressions continue to be placid) and Sushma Raj (who, surprisingly for a Tamil film heroine, gets her lip-sync right), unlike Shiva and Priya Anand in Vanakkam Chennai, aren’t actors who can handle comedy that well, and so, after the first couple of scenes, things turn redundant. The narrative even takes an overlong digression and moves to the village of Kaattamuthu and Marudhamuthu. A couple of songs also add to our frustration. It is only when the action shifts to the city, that we heave a sigh of relief.
