User Reviews

Good entertainment and Social awareness movie

Believe me, the money and time that you spend on watching this movie is not going to be wasted. This movie deserves a much better review than what most of the critics have given. The first half of the movie showcases the dark reality of the so called Godmen of this time, while the second half shows the virtual imagination of the magical fantasy. All the actors have done their part well, especially Karthik and Nayanthara. Not to mention the usual religious critical comedies of Vivek and crew. The drawback in the film is the video game type scenes at the end, which could have been much better.
