    Expectation killed it

    Too much melodrama!

    Ayya's character is not strong enough or not built well to showcase his acting/art. Vijay Sethupathi has his own way of dialog delivery, which spoils the Classical Tamil dialog and not attaching to drama stage. All actors played well. We can see how hard it is to take a simple shot for a movie. But core of the story is not enough to touch.

    Unique premise but failed execution

    The film has a very original premise and idea but the crew simply could not build a storyline and screenplay with it. The cast is outstanding and rarely do you see a movie with no lead actors perform so well.No Vijay Sethupathy is not the lead actor here but the idea of his existence is. The comedy is very good and the actors truly excel which is one reason you are not bored despite the complete lack of a plot or screenplay. Still I would recommend a watch and I heard that from today a edited version with 23 mins cut is being released.

    Art never dies!!!

    Everyone nailed it through their acting even those new actor did so well... Unsatisfactory ending but still a good one to watch n enjoy... A different try from Indian cinema Vijay Sethupathi as aurangazeb was really mindblowing

    A Typical Vijay Sethupathy's experiment..Not a routine one..

    An interesting fantasy story which is new to tamil cinema. A fiction can go in any dimension and it's one of that kind. Vijay Sethupathy's drama artist performance is not justifying enough esp. In dialogue delivery part. Director's approach of dragging scenes like a typical Tv serials is disappointing. Background music is is good and blends with scenes well. Hats off to the director for bringing out best in every supporting actors.
