The central plot of the film actually begins just close to the intermission. The lead up to this is light hearted but not as enjoyable as you would have liked it to be. You sense the situations for a hearty laugh but it ultimately boils down to only a wry smile here and there. RJ Balaji mocks at himself at a few places at his unfunny jokes. But that serves only a slight respite as he seems in mood to stop throughout the first half. No doubt that these are films that try to look at the funnier side of serious situations. The trick is to make the audience laugh when the characters are serious. But here when there is a serious cat and mouse game on between Jai and his nemesis, no one shows the least sign of anxiety or tension. All of a sudden you have a serious dialogue about the consequences of expired medicines and all that is forgotten so easily and conveniently. For a certain period in the second half the film does pack a slight punch with all the buildup given to the antagonist. But the knots are loosened so easily to reveal who he is. And the way he reacts hopelessly brings to nought the dreaded man that we had on our minds.
