The film later turns into melodrama but does this in awkward fashion. Insults are traded between the two families and the heroine’s father is publicly humiliated but we are never sure how to react to these scenes because the director, eager to keep things light, resorts to humour immediately. As a result, the characters come across as shallow and implausible. Even the performances are middling.Kreshna, who has so far displayed an uncanny knack for choosing interesting films, seems to have selected this one just for the ‘B and C audience’. As for debutante Monal Gajjar, she continues the fine Tamil cinema traditions of an educated heroine falling in love with a loafer and bad lip-syncing.Ma Ka Pa Anand hits some and misses many but Santhanam is funny in the few minutes he is on screen.
