Comedy at its best
This movie is the very best of Bhagyaraj's comedies. The movie has clean humour, and a few decent romance and sentiment scenes which thankfully are underplayed so that they don't hamper the fun.
Every South Indian who has tried to learn Hindi will relish the "Ek gaon mein...." scene.
This movie is a shining example of Bhagyaraj's originality and imagination. For originality in mainstream movies, Bhagyaraj is numero uno not just in Tamil but all of Indian cinemas.
Even though the movie is based in Coimbatore, nothing in the whole movie shows the distinguishing aspects of Coimbatore.
Acting wise nothing great about the actors, but all do their job adequately. In spite of these, such is the beauty of the screenplay that you hardly notice any of these let downs.
Easily the best comedy of the 1980's. Popular opinion is that this movie ranks along with "Michael Madana Kamarajan" as the best comedy capers in Tamil. I think this movie is better than the latter in originality.
If you can understand Tamil, a MUST watch.
