Sathya (Sibiraj) is a sub inspector in crime branch with zero success rate. When people in a village called Ayanpuram start experiencing paranormal activities, higher officials choose Sathya as the investigative officer. Interestingly before the Ayanpuram assignment, Sathya was on a medical leave to find the right life partner.
As Sathya investigates about the haunted bungalow in Ayanpuram, he falls in love with the village President's daughter Viji . Apparently, a competition arises between Sathya and the President's relative veera in marrying Viji. In order to arrive at a conclusion, the President challenges both Sathya and his relative to stay in the haunted bungalow for seven days. Who comes out as the winner?
Dharani Dharan's ideology of mixing fantasy, horror and spoof is laudable. A tight screenplay offers a big entertainment, there are genuine funny punch lines from Yogi Babu. Karunakaran and 'Mottai' Rajendran also impress us with their comic act. Though Sathyaraj looks powerful in flashback portions.
Sibiraj looks convincing as a young cop and has got the comic timing but the actor has to improve his body language and expressions to carry heavier roles. Technically brillant, dharanidharan dialogues is a big plus for Jackson Durai while Vivek Harshan's cuts help the film for horror gimmicks and wonder cinematography
Overall, Jackson Durai is a decent horror comedy and watchable for the spoof comedy.
Verdict: Watchable horror comedy.
