Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, Ashwin Kakamanu, Nandhitha, Swathi Reddy etc.,
Music: Siddharth Vipin
Cinematography: Mahesh Muthuswamy
Dialogues: Madhan Karky
Story, Screenplay and Direction: Gokul

This movie produced by Leo Visions and Distributed by JSK films was showing some wonderful stuff right from the initial stages of promotion with some different ads. Then the 'Prayer Song', which was released as a single track, Raised the movie's expectation. Then, the audio launch and teaser release further raised the movie's expectation to the peak. As a result, there were some great advance bookings for this movie and lets see whether this movie has really lived up to its expectations.

Cast and Crew:
Vijay Sethupathi as 'Sumaar Moonji Kumaaru' is the rockstar in this movie. He maintains his momentum right from the first scene till the end. His dialogue delivery, body language all are terrific. He has done a great job morethan his previous releases -  'Soodhu Kavvum','NKPK' and 'Pizza'. Ashwin Kakamanu ['Mangatha' fame] as 'Bala', Is a perfect selection for the role of a Urban sales guy. His dressing sense, mannerisms, reactions and dialogues are all lovely to watch. He has shown some maturity in this role. The scenes where he handles his boss [M.S.Bhaskar] along with his friends and again handling his girl friend [Swathi Reddy] proves his talent.

The lady in lead roles are done by Nandhitha and Swathi Reddy. Out of these two, Nandhitha wins the race. She has done some wonderful job, In places wherein she gets annoyed by Vijay Sethupathy. Swathi Reddy of 'Subramaniyapuram' fame, has to do a lots of homework with her reactions. Pasupathy as 'Annachi' and  Robo Shankar as 'salt sankar' have a small but makes us laugh to the core. The rest other crew includes 'Nan Kadavul' Rajendran, 'Parotta' Soori, Livingstone, 'Pattimandram' Raja, M.S.Bhaskar etc., All these characters hits boundaries and sixes in the limited balls they have got. Such a rocking performance from the entire crew.

Music, Editing and Cinematography:
Songs and BGM score is being recorded by Siddharth Vipin of 'Naduvula Konjam Pakkthula Kaanom' fame. He has done some fantastic work. 'Prayer Song' is the highlight of everything. Lyrics penned by Madhan Karky is also pretty decent. Editing done by Leo John Paul also has some perfect cuts. Cinematography by Mahesh Muthukumar. This subject does not demand any camera Gimics. And he has also done the same what the director has expected him to do.

Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction:
The movie's biggest strengths next to Vijay Sethupathi are dialogues penned by Madhan Karky and Screenplay by Director Gokul, Who has previously directed jeeva starrer 'Rowthiram'. Some dialogues like 'Kumudha is Happy','Annen love failure', 'There is no use of playing violin the back of a bufallo' etc., make the audience to go to their feet and burst into laughter. Good job Karky sir.

Coming to Direction part, the director has trusted his screenplay alone and has made this script ready, as there is nothing called story in it. Depicting a long crew with various situations and assembling them all together, incident by incident is not a easy task for any director. Director Gokul has handled this perfectly with no confusions and no logic loopholes at any places. Still he could have reduced few unwanted scenes that reduce the pace of the film, Which is the only disadvantage of the film.

Positives:
--> Entire Cast and Crew
--> Music
--> Screenplay and Dialogues

Negatives:
--> Lengthy, slow pace of the movie with some unwanted scenes

Final Verdit:
Now-a-days, audience expect a 3-hour entertainment as they rush into theater after some heavy stress. This movie promises to provide it. All of you can go to theater and forget all your worries till you leave the movie. Not only Kumudha is happy, All are happy!!

Rating - 7/10 [Nothing New, But an awesome entertainment guaranteed - 2.5 hours Laugh Riot]
