Movie was promising with the good star cast like Vijay Sethupathi, Nayantara but what you get is nothing from it, because it has half baked screenplay. Yes ! It is true, the only Pros of this movie are Nayanathara's acting & Soothing tunes. Undoubtedly, all Songs are worth listening and remembering(Especially the tracks: Nuvvu Nenu & Nenu Rowdy ne..). Considering low budget & not so high production values it would have been a profitable venture in Kollywood. The movie pretends to be a dark Comedy but hardly it created any laughter. It is not upto the mark in terms of making you laugh.

I have seen the movie in Simivalley, Los Angeles, USA.
Screenplay is very good. Young Director did good job and become a one of the key success point.
Dhanush is getting a good career as producer by making these kind of selected stories.
Nayanthara and Vijay sethupathi did excellent job. Parthiban also did his best in this.
Anirudh made decent job in songs and back ground music is good. RJ Balaji's comedy is OK. But should have been more better.
Worth watchful movie. We can watch more than once. Please go and watch in theaters.

Plot: Low-profile funny youngster who says himself as a 'don' helps his dumb girl friend to murder the real don who demolished her family.
Director Vignesh Shivan tried a black comedy gangster script with Vijay Sethupathi and Nayantara in lead. Vijay Sethupathi character just remind me 'Das' of Soodhu Kavvum. Nayantara is a dumb girl seeking for revenge.
Both VJ Sethupathi and Nayan became huge positive for this success. Next to lead roles RJ Balaji occupies nearly more than 50% of screen, but very few one line comedy worked.
Veteran star Parthiban as main antagonist add some good flavor to the movie. Other gangsters in the film such as motta Rajendran, Anandaraj & Mansoor Ali Khan also good. Cast also includes two cops Raadhika as VJ Sethupathi's mom & Azhagam Perumal as Nayanthara's dad.
The way how Vijay Sethupathi team & Mansoor Ali Khan team attacking Parthiban is one of the best laughter scene in recent times.
Movie has very few cons such as commercial aspects added by the director via RJ Balaji. For the few days in Tamil industry film- makers trying to attract Ajith fans, I don't know why.
Anirudh scores a decent BGM. George Williams never failed to impress. As a producer surely Dhanush will know how to promote the film & make steady ride in box office.
Verdict: Vijay Sethupathi and Nayantara just steal the show.

Pretty great movie, Story is quite funny, seeing Vijay Sethupathi being a fake rowdy is pretty hilarious, with him setting up scenes and all that while actually making pretty good cash. Nayanthara is the absolute star of the show however, her acting is brilliant and she looks absolutely gorgeous. Her character Kadhambari is hearing impaired and Nayanthara really brings her to life and allows the viewer to connect with her character.
The story is nothing to write home about but it's funny at parts and good enough, so that Vijay's great acting and Nayanthara's beautiful looks and superb performance can shoulder the shortcomings.
My criticism of the movie comes with how Vijay's character, Pandi almost comes across as if his emotionally manipulating Kadhambari in some scenes. That or his abusing the fact she can't hear to hide and conceal things from her, namely her fathers death. While on the subject why doesn't Kadhambari get a hearing aid? She obviously hasn't completely lost her hearing and with a hearing aid she may even be able to hear again.

The movie was very good. Comedy was very good in the movie. RJ Balaji rocked in the movie. Vijay Sethupathi acted very well in the movie. Nayanthara also acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM are superb in the film.
