An Underdog Rises
29 October 2012
Always given a role that was slapstick, it is refreshing to see Vadivelu in an acting role that requires him to do more than just get soundly trashed. His first project as a hero is certainly worth watching. He does not have typical characteristics of a "hero" but that does not deteriorate the movie. Rather, he does justice to his roles. The supporting casts are good as well. Each have a purpose that enhance the story.

The credit goes to Chimbu Deven for writing an excellent screenplay and for his directing skills. The dialogues are the highlight of the film and the comedy is a mix of both written and body language. The editing was great, because the movie did not lag as most historical dramas tend to. The songs were okay, almost feeling like a parody to the olden days.

Overall, this movie is done well and is worth watching.
