First of all, the film received a lot of negative reviews and was regarded a flop, but it was a highly entertaining commercial entertainer. The film had almost every single genre in the film which includes Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror, Thriller, Romance all in one film. The screenplay is really racy but the film gets its emotions right especially in the second half, both the ghost flashbacks and the lead characters flashback work very well. Venkat Prabhu probably comes up with the best ideas for his films where in Mankatha, he uses the heroes greed to come up with a unique interval block and here he uses the ghosts and comes up with unique heist sequences and jokes successfully. Venkat Prabhu is one of the best when it comes to ideas. There are a lot of logic confusions in the film but if you can dismiss it than you will definitely enjoy it. Otherwise you may end up being disappointed if you start looking at it in a logical manner. The main logical screw up the filmmaker made was having ghosts be able to touch something in one scene, and then not be able to touch it in the other. However had the little logics been corrected, the film would have been a blockbuster. The bonding between Suriya and Premgi work very well, and the Piravi song sequence is very touching. An action packed film with every single genre will definitely entertain if you ignore all logical issues.
