Plot

Karthik and Anu move to a new house. Soon, they learn that they are sharing their house with Ramesh and Viji from another family from a different timeline. How they unite and bring back their residences to normal forms the rest of the story.

Star Performance

Kaali Venkat’s performance is natural as ever. He impresses us with his comical performance. Darshan and Aarsha did their roles well. Vinodhini is okay in her role.

Analysis

The genre is a known one, but the treatment is the one to be noted. Although the stars did their job well, the same incidents shown in a middle-class family make us feel the routine. The dialogues are okay. The film relies mostly on the dialogue rather than the visuals. Some characters are not scripted well. The visuals and BGM are pretty decent. The editing is quite okay. Although there are some misses, the climax is satisfying.

What’s There?

  • The performances are decent
  • The climax is satisfying

What’s Not There?

  • The characters should’ve been penned better
  • The middle-class tropes are usual

Verdict

Despite the flaws, the film is watchable once for its genuine attempt!
