Mindless comedies are evergreen - cartoonish characters, illogical settings, impractical solutions and absurd problems - these are just the DNA for such flicks. So I had clear idea what to expect and turn off my logic while watching this.

To be honest the first half is pretty good - especially Keerthy as a bumbling, naive fool and the setting, premise all were good and well detailed.

But second half the director did a sacrosanct sin with comedies - he went serious! This is disastrous - because once you become serious and try to seriously solve ridiculous problems and illogical situations in a comedy - the entire thing falls apart!

Smart storytellers either turn black comedy or venture into horror or even break the 4th wall (like in Deadpool or even bits in Pyar ke side effects, Kal ho na ho etc.)

Giving it a 5 rating just for the entertaining first half.

I had high hopes after watching the trailers and reading some of the reviews here - but alas the movie is pretty flat! Dialogues and setting is far too artificial, screenplay jarring and forced - with jump cuts exasperating this disconnect with realism / organic flow.

Acting is fresh and good - but director need to reign in the actors are moments or make the shots better to suit the lack of experience - tight shots and low lights makes the loud and rough edges of actors really stand out !

I am serious disappointed - tamil movies need experimental movies like these - that explore the human psyche and grey themes - but this sadly this did not work for me at all.

Apart from Anaswara's brief flashes of charishma and Indrajith's charm (at certain moments) - the movie is pretty flat through out !

I have lot of issues - right from the lack of chemistry between the leads - they were giving sibling vibes throughout, without any romantic shades throughout (though the director tries to induce it and so does loud BGMs - but the spart simply is not there)

The sequels are pretty illogical and the drive through becoming boring fast and those that know Thiruvananthapuram or those that have some form of attention, will realize they are going in circles through main city landmarks over and over - just like the story and directors - just roaming aimlessly

Verdict - Not worth a watch!
