The turning point comes when a bank seizes his family’s ancestral land.The film has received mixed reactions from viewers and critics. ETimes review for the film reads, “Where the film loses ground is in its commitment to the Dhanush sentiment factory. Land, parents, husbandhood, ancestral pride: similar shortcomings of his recent Idli Kadai. Every emotional thread gets pulled on, and after a while you feel the pattern more than the feeling. Vignesh loves his symbolism too (and so does Dhanush), and there’s a discipline missing here that would have given the quirkier instincts more room to breathe. The micro-predictability bites as well. Cues, glances, slow turns, you can clock most of them three beats early.Dhanush is as reliable as ever here. He carries the weight by always being around. Mamitha Baiju has more of a cursory role than anything. Suraj Venjaramoodu and Jayaram possess a similar degree of both comic and serious depth. “DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
