The trailer is a laugh riot, the best scenes are found there. There are a few other gems interspersed in the movie that follows Boss( Arya) a lazy, jobless bum who falls in love with Chandrika (Nayanthara) and wants to marry her and be 'kept' by her. She is also coincidentally his sister in law's younger sister. The typical plot involving the useless guy becoming rich to convince his to be in laws rises a little above average with the comic twists, mostly revolving around the hilarious Santhanam. His comic timing is impeccable! Like all Tamil comedians, he came, he saw, he peaked and now I hope he doesn't start coming in every Tamil movie released and then burning out into 'double entrende's' and 'propping the hero's ego' roles. Arya's character does not evoke any sort of empathy. Whether it is intentional or not, it doesn't do any justice to the story. He is insensitive, callous and unsympathetic yet for some obscure reason, everyone in the movie roots for him. Or the director/writer decided that since it was a comedy, you did not have to give any depth of character to the hero, his callousness can just serve as fodder for the humour. Nayanthara is at her artificial best. Time to get married/ reveal you are married and sit at home darling or go for roles that require that sort of 'glamour'.
There are references to old movies galore (another Tamil cinema trend) and a few relatable scenes. Obviously the ending is happy, but then it has a funny kid of deviation(I will not spoil it for you), which in parts seems like the director (Ramesh of SMS fame) didn't know what to do with the final scene. All in all a brainless time pass.
5/10
