A masterclass in padding runtime

Warning: Spoilers
It takes special talent to ensure that there is no good story to get a good movie out of a promising cast.

The film begins with an interesting discussion on marriage and turns out to be a confession of cheating, resulting in a couple's separation that leads to the brothers-in-law beginning to dislike each other.

And from then onwards it goes even more downhill. There are way too many instances of these two ending up in head-on-clashes.

The film focuses on the cast rather than story, shoehorning in the separated couple's daughter when it is clear that the characters written for the cast aren't able to carry the story forward at all, and the film turns into a competition of the two sides of the little girl's family competing against each other in their incompetence in taking care of a child.

The two heroines have absolutely no role.

The climax proves the writers' dedication to turn this joke of a script into a film, establishing the protagonists as being incapable of spotting a vehicle whose number plate is in front of their faces for a very long time.

It seems more like a film written in fear of disappointing fans of either protagonist than one intended at giving a good cinematic experience.

The only redemption is the music, with Deva sir's composition preventing this film from being forgotten. And, sure, it was nice seeing Vijay and Suriya together on screen.
