    Worst of Worst and boring

    Senseless Narration * Lackluster Story & Very Poor Screenplay * Forgettable Songs * Silly Heroine Track & Investigation Scenes * Half Baked Sub Plots * Weak Characterizations.

    * no logic and all characters look like serial drama artist for episodes * Worst body language of karthi and don't know what he is trying to imitate * Even the screenplay is very weakly written. The flow of scenes never makes any proper sense and the scenes never create an interest in the way they are being unfolded on screen. All the subplots are poorly written, especially the heroine track looks very silly and unwanted as she appears only for 10 minutes in the whole film. Even the whole investigation process never engages us.

    Pure unadulterated trash

    I wonder what made anyone involved to even make this movie. The two story lines are so abhorrent and unbearable meandering everywhere but going nowhere. Karthi tries to make an impact but falls flat in his face with every scene being more cringeworthy than the last. The violence scenes seem unnecessary and the characters from his henchmen to the cops don't add any meaning. The worst is the cheap copycat of the GVM cop role whose entire role is to keep chasing the culprit.

    The scene where the so called movie about Japan was made kicks in at about five mins. If you can survive and enjoy the movie scene which runs for five mins then please continue with the movie but if you can't just get out and walk away.

    Life's too short to waste three hours on this movie.

    Time And Money Waste

    Before you guys spending money on this movie, Karthi was going with the flow then suddenly I don't know why he chooses this movie worst screenplay worst storyline and acting was kind of unnatural Karthi tried a new body language and slang but it gets annoying in a while.

    GV Prakash music was ok other actors like fillers to this movie not an impactful characters.

    The movie mixed with variety of sentiment and entertainment but it doesn't helps us to get in with the flow if you 're a expecting something big like Kaidhi or Theeran this is not the right movie overall not worth it for money I spent.

    If you have time to waste, please watch it.

    Probably one of the worst movies in Karthi's career. No idea why he accepted such a movie. And no idea how the director narrated the story to the main cast and convinced the producer to make such a movie. No story, no comedy, no action, zero entertainment. Movie started off with a fight between a husband and wife followed by a robbery scene. Then comes the hero introduction. Probably one of the worst hero introduction you can ever think of. Then the story gives a feeling of an introduction to a good cops film. But continues without any proper direction. No proper villain character and no proper cast. Importantly, no idea about the film location, Cops travel to Andhra then Kerala and then again to Tamilnadu and all these within two days by road. There is no scope for heroine. She comes for few scenes and suddenly disappeared. KS Ravikumar comes for 3 or 4 scenes, but don't know what character does he play in the movie. Time to mother sentiment, just to convince the family audience, which is the biggest minus for the film. Please watch it if you have enough money and time to waste...

    Japan = Boring

    Cops in search of a culprit named 'Japan' for robbing a jewellery shop.

    Unexpected film from Actor Karthi (played as a lead 'Japan') and director Raju Murugan. Unexpected in the sense 'disappointed'.

    The main reason was the poor screenplay. The film started, travelled and ended in a complete boring way. Not even attractive in a single scene. None of the technical aspects supported this film. The composition and a few frames of this film worked from a cinematography aspect. Even the title card didn't perfectly made and the tag animation of Karthi's 25 (The 25th film of the actor who performed the 'Japan' character)too had poor graphics. The cast performed really well.

    Nothing positive to say about this film. Really disappointing!! This film would have been better if the importance of Japan's character gave to the screenplay. Only the Japan character, Karthi's performance, his costume design and make up shines.
