Ya Ya – Almost all Comedy based movies with established actors are commercially doing well. Santhanam & Shiva have separate fan base for them due to their timing comedy dialogues. It is the turn of Rajesh's Assistant Director Rajasekaran to make a debut in Tamil Cinema with the Dream Combo of Santhanam + Shiva + Powerstar. Let us see whether he manages to continue the Comedy Trend in Tamil Cinema in this review.

Story: Rajesh’s Assistant Director had given respect to his Guru by adapting the story of OKOK itself. Shiva plays the role of Udhayanidhi in this movie.

Santhanam – He almost overshadows even Big Heroes in his movies. Posters of the movie may make us believe that Shiva & Santhanam had played the lead roles as Santhanam’s pair in the movie is Sandhya. But, Shiva occupies 60% of the scene, rest 35% to Santhanam & 5% to Powerstar. Santhanam keeps mocking individuals with their physical appearances and teases girls badly for attracting the youngsters this movie too. There is a dialogue in the movie in which he mentions, “Dinosaur & “Good Girls” are the same, as they don’t exist anymore in the world.” His comedy works in this movie, but not as much as effective in Director Rajesh’s movies.

Shiva – He keeps continuing to act in the similar scripts & tries to dance in this movie for the songs. Hopefully, his next movie, Vanakkam Chennai will show him in different characterization and makes his career continue in Tamil Cinema.

Powerstar –He was not part of the initial casting. His combo with Santhanam was the major reason for success of “KLTA”. Hence, he was added to this movie with the role of a fashion designer in the movie. He imitates scenes from Rajinkanth’s Endhiran, Kamal’s Virumandi, Vijay’s Pokkiri, Ajith’s Billa 2 and the list continues. It will definitely irritate the audience.

Dhansika – She made a noticeable debut with “Peranmai”. After that, she didn’t get much opportunity to perform in any of her movies. She proved that she can act well in her last movie “Paradesi”. In this movie, she gets more screen presence with absolutely no opportunity to perform.

Sandhya – She makes comeback to Tamil Cinema after long time. It would have been good if she has selected a better script to make her comeback.

Director Rajasekaran has adapted OKOK’s story and has depended on the Comedy Scenes alone in this movie. But, he couldn’t even achieve 25% of what his Guru achieved in Comedy Scenes. With the likes of Shiva, Santhanam & Powerstar, he would have given a much better Comedy Movie than KLTA if he has worked on the script.

Overall, people whoever watches this movie, please make sure that headache tablet is available in the medical shop, near the theater.

Rating of this movie by Common Man: 1.25 / 5 (1 for Santhanam’s Comedy alone)
