We have seen many actors imitating characters of other hit films to make us laugh in almost all Indian & Hollywood films. But still we were missing a full-length spoofing movie just like Hollywood flicks, SCARY MOVIE series. Finally director C.S.Amudhan has come up with such a movie.

Story
The whole story is a fantasy type one. The story begins in a remote village called Cineapatti where Nattamai(Ponnambalam) orders to kill new born boy babies inorder to avoid those boys to go to Chennai & became heroes & become a problem for them. Those who refuse will be forced to leave the village & has to watch Simbhu(though not mentioned the name as such, said like one who do styles with fingers) movie, 50 times. When Siva(Siva) is born, his father asks to kill him. The woman(Paravai Muniamma) decides to kill the boy by giving kallippaal(poison). Then the newborn baby asks her to take him to Chennai so that he can become a hero. Then story happens in Chennai. Siva has friends Manobala, M.S.Bhaskar & Venneeradai Moorthy. There Siva falls in love & in between he does murders. Problem happens when heroine's father comes to know about the relationship. The rest of the story is how he wins her, who really he is, how he finds his parents, whether he able to find out the real villain named "D".

Performances

Siva has played his character with ease. Heroine Disha Pandey is good. Paravai Muniamma, Manobala, M.S.Bhaskar, Venneeradai Moorthy was OK only. Rest all did their part well.

Songs

Songs by Kannan are enjoyable. First song was a spoofing of all lead actor's intro song. Picturisation also simply rocks. Second one is an item number by former heroine Kasthuri. The first two lines reminds us fast version of "Njanum Varatte" of malayalam flick Chathikkaatha Chandu. Third was the rocking song sung by Hariharan, a melody one in which the whole song lyrics is the meaningless words of Tamil songs like "Omahasiya", "Nakka Mukka", "Dialamo", "Hasile Fisile".........The fourth song is OK only. Picturisation of all songs are good and filled with comedy scenes. BGM was superb.

Technical

Good Editing, especially titles. Cinematography by Nirav Shah is good.

Script & Direction

The real hero is dialogue witer K.Chandru, smart & witty dialogues throughout the movie. Screenplay by director C.S.Amudhan is engaging to an extent. The first half of the movie was 1hr length & was a rocking one with never a dull moment though no big twists or surprises are there(we do not expect one in a movie like this). But the second half of the movie is not that good as first half. From the point, when Siva went to Cinemapatti in search of his parents, scenes become a bit boring and the last 15 minutes was a disappointing one as the director could not keep the standard as the movie should have. Climax sequence was too childish and a bit boring and lengthy. On the whole, a good first half & tad above average second half.

Verdict : Above Average comedy entertainer

B.O.Verdict : Hit

What makes the story entertaining is the treatment. After Intro song, it's a scene from Thalapathy. Then develops with Baasha & Kandaswamy sequence. Then Kadhalukku Mariyadai, 7/G Rainbow Colony, Boys, Sivaji, Run, Ghajini, Kaakka Kaakka & lot others. If u have seen these movies, u'll enjoy the movie to its core.
