Now, the mission is no treasure hunt or an adventure a la Aayirathil Oruvan. The sole intention is to marry a foreigner and get settled abroad. What happens in the end is anyone's guess!
A mish-mash of spoofs that we have seen in Venkat's earlier films, takes from other films recent and old, a wafer-thin plot and some pretty ordinary writing (with a gay relationship to boot) mar this film. Especially the second half is a drag primarily coz of the songs. The Jai-Pia and Vaibhav-Sneha love stories get a little boring and need trimming.
Yes, there are some genuinely funny scenes, but they are few and far between and short lived. James Vasanthan has to be credited in the Background score column as atleast half hour of the movie has his song in the background.
The picturization of the songs Adida Nayyandiya and Ezhezhu Thalamuraikkum were quite pedestrian, primarily after all the hype of the latter having been sung by the cousins. SPB and ILaiyaraaja croon 'Vaaliba Vaa Vaa' which I thought was quite tasteless in its picturization on the suspected gay relationship. (watch out for Kavignar Vaali's lines "Vandhadhe Sattam, Ini Kottam Adikkalaam". Shows why he is the one for all seasons).
The girls in the film have done their parts well (Pia and Melanie look very pretty and Sneha is ok) with Sampath and Arvind Aakash providing adequate support.
The scenes in the Casino are ridiculous and ill-conceived.
Personally, a very disappointing outing from Venkat Prabhu and team especially after the trendsetting 'Chennai-28' and 'Saroja'. Watch it if you have nothing better to do.
