Performances
Through the entire first half, Siddharth maintains his funny side when interacting with the other characters, portraying his already existing acting talent with the years of experience after having donned many tough roles in several films.
Nithya Menon with her girl next door looks does not have to fit into the role and looked ok for the role. Priya Anand however has shown lot of maturity when compared to her previous role in Leader and with her acting skills it might also appear as if she has stolen the lime light from Siddharth even if it might be for certain time.
Analysis
The visuals specially during the first frame seem to be quite impressive which have to be credited exclusively to the director Jayendra however the film might bomb at the box office only due to improper narration.
It appears as if Siddharth has again took reigns of the entire movie single handedly with the various shades depicted in different part of the movie, first being a well-mannered person, funny in the middle, serious lover afterwards followed on to be shown as a true lover at the end of the During the entire process the actual “death sentiment” seems to have disappeared, based on which the movie was actually set out to enthrall the spectators. Entire second half of the movie was dragged and appears to go very slow which is quite disheartening specially after the slow narration right from the start.
Verdict
Not a movie chosen by any individual seeking entertainment, but is definitely a thought provoking movie!
