Dhanush does a role reprisal with Mapillai, a role his father-in-law performed in the 1980s. Suraj’s remake follows the older version, with only the comedy portions standing out. Manisha could not live up the legendary performance meted out by Srividhya.

Thanks to Dhanush’s presence, the movie opened to above average houses over the weekend.

Public Talk:
The much talked about Manisha magic was less than magical.
