    Classic comedy entertainment

    K Balachander's best comedy entertainment and Rajini acted in dual transformation role and he has acted as indran and chandran and his stylish mannerisms in this movie was great entertainment to audience. MSV music is also good. Madhavi was acted as lead female role and songs are also in the hit list. Thengai seenivasan acting was very nice.

    Storyline was very simple but story narration was excellent sowcar janaki acting was also superficial and the movie was remade with actor siva and prakashraj recently. It was a milestone to kollywood and kamal also acted in cameo role it was a wonderful journey to all.

    Laugh riot

    It's not often that remakes turn out better than the original. This one does. A copy of the Hindi Golmaal, it has Rajini in a hilarious role. Visu's dialogues and K Balachander's comic genius, topped with MSV's melodious songs, have given Tamil film lovers an all-time comedy classic. Thengai Sreenivasan is in his element. Don't miss it.

    Nostalgic and Charishmatic

    All the above reviews were told every good thing about the movie possibly, but still I am trying to write up a few.

    This movie can be thoroughly enjoyed by any next generation as we have did it already. It stands alone in a Comic genre in Tamil films. Rajinikanth was totally utilized and the director extracted till his last drop of acting essence in terms of streamlined acting. A special mention, Thengai Seenivasan, His acting was so spontaneous and hilarious which is way ahead even now, No one can replace his role as he was at his best. If you see any of Director's film, you cannot see any comedian play a sidekick to the antagonist, though he is an alter of Well known comedian Nagesh, who he admires, resembles in expressing and acting and thinking, which is an important trivia. So Nagesh played a perfect cameo role to set the context for the film. Initially, Rajnikanth was very hesitant to remove his mustache for the role, but as of now, You cannot see a better expressive Rajni in any film which is because of K.B's touch and his clean shave look(Except Thalabathy film). You feel fresh whenever you see this film and you will right away feel amused of its stand out comic performances. I would reckon, this is my most favorite Tamil comedy movie till now.

    Good Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie were good. The comedy scenes in the movie were excellent. The movie somewhat lagged because of some unwanted scenes. Good Movie.
