        Best of "Crazy" Mohan, the epic Tamizh scriptwriter

        The characters are well designed to take this comedic genius of Kamal-CrazyMohan combination to another level!

        If you want to have a fun filled watch, then this movie fits the bill!

        funny movie

        the movie is indeed funny and believable too. i would say very good performance from kamal hassan, jay ram (malayalee guy), ramesh aravind (kanada guy), seeman (telugu guy) , urvasi (malayallee guy's wife) and sim ran. the movie starts with flight high jack and how the captain (hero of this film) with heroine saves the flight. even the marriage scenes are pretty funny. where ram( kamal hassan) is caught kissing another girl( his previous girl friend). deva yani though a short role did well in the role of a girl who wants to commit suicide as she is heart wrecked. ram goes to a hotel to save her and in turn mistaken by his wife as he is her lover. Normally a serious scene but handled in a pretty funny way. later how his friends try to encourage him what are the consequences they face is the movie all about.

        the movie is equally funny in tamil and telugu . very well translated.

        Laugh a Minute Riot !!!

        (Telugu) Kamalhassan has sadly fallen into a groove. One hit followed by many dud. Thankfully, this is a hit. Kamal and four friends find themselves in non-stop crazy situations that will make viewers ROFL. To top it, these four friends speak different languages. have crazier families. A misunderstanding drives a wedge between Kamal and wife. This itself will have you laughing all the way. The four friends try helping out but get entangled in a murder.

        The rest you have to see for yourself. Keep your eyes open (or don't) for a small but sexy role by Ramya Krishnan. The star of this movie is the unseen writer(s) and the story and dialogues.
