If the film succeeds, it is mainly because of its screenplay by Mani Maaran. It gradually takes us into the world of real estate and construction business and shows us the seamy side of the trade. Barring one hard-to-believe turn — Saravanan going to meet his lover Shanthi when he has Shastri (Mohan Raman plays the slippery middleman with the right amount of vulnerability and crookedness) with him, it manages to hit the right buttons to keep us on the edge of the seat. It is racy, thrilling and entertaining. What more do you want from a genre film?
