Trade Talk:More number of shows during the first week of its release ensured that the movie has garnered more than just the investment.

Bharath does a decent job and Vadivelu could not bring the house down with his antics.

The movie follows a bright student’s life and how it goes haywire owing to his misleading friendships.
Trade Talk:Predictably, no one seems to be talking.

Kuruvi did not work for many reasons - a simple one is that it has Vijay written all over it a little more than required and his presence has simply overpowered the weak storyline.
Trade Talk:No harm done to the investment, though. And producer Udayanidhi’s chain of announcements regarding his next project need to be taken seriously.
