Varalaxmi excelled in the given role. Charle, Easwari, and Santosh Prathap fit well in their roles and are impressive with their performances. Kavitha Bharathi and Sendrayan add value to their roles, though their screen presence is short.
Analysis
Dayal Padmanabhan makes his debut in Tamil after a dozen plus successful films in Kannada. The screenplay is neat, and the characters are penned finely. The stars fit well in the role; their natural performance makes the audience feel for them and helps them go deep into the story. Though the film has less running time, the director accomplished his goal within a short time. The BGM by Sam CS is stunning, as usual, and the visuals are impressive too. The art director and his team should be appreciated for bringing the 80s era in front. There are no commercial elements inserted, and that’s one of the biggest pluses.
