It is a good fun ride with Sivakarthikeyan in his elements and he holds the film together along with fabulous music and BGM by Anirudh and eye catching camera work by Sukumar.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> The film is tailor made as a summer holiday special for Sivakarthikeyan’s audiences, who like to have a fun time at the movies. It is a film that will have you laughing, rooting for the hero and ultimately you leave the hall with a smile.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> Here's a film where you have its every thrilling feature exaggerated in melodramatic detail – a boy-next-door, a glamorous, fair (?) girl falling for the hero in no time, rich production values, peppy dream songs at regular intervals, and the underdog triumphing in the end.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> Four IT professionals who are on an outdoor trip meet a hermit inside a jungle (!!) who predicts the future by giving them a leading Tamil newspaper which is going to be printed four months later!</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> Going by the news in the daily, they track down Peter (Sivakarthikeyan) a normal middle-class guy who is supposed to win Rs 2 crore in the Tamilnadu boxing championship after four months and sign an agreement.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> Peter who doesn’t know anything about boxing is sponsored by these people who train him for the match. Meanwhile, Peter meets Yazhini (Hansika) in a mall and it is instant love for him and in lighting speed she reciprocates. After all the fun and duets it’s time for the climax, a long drawn-out boxing match. <i>Maan Karate</i> Peter has to defeat the menacing <i>Killer</i> Peter(Vamsi) in the finals.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> In many ways, it is a typical formula film that sticks to hero image template. There is nothing new in this fantasy story, which is hard to digest. But director Thirukumaran’s idea is simple- provide a packaged entertainer where audiences should not ask questions and suspend disbelief. The interval block is one of the highlights of the film.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> At the centre of all mirth is Sivakarthikeyan. His comic timing and ability to mock and lampoon conventional notions of macho heroism makes it a knockout performance. Hansika is immensely likeable as Yazhini. She looks charming, light s up the screen with her cute expressions and her costumes are perfect. It’s a pure delight to watch her, especially in the songs. Satish and Soori in a cameo as a boxing referee provide additional laughter. Vamsi as the boxing champion is menacing.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> Technically, the film has many brownie points. Anirudh’s songs are a treat and are picturised in a glossy manner like a music video. ‘Un Vizhigalil’ and ‘Maanja’ are the pick of the lot. Cameraman Sukumar’s lighting makes it visually stunning. Editor Sreekar Prasad has made it like a typical mass entertainer.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> Minuses? The story and setting is unbelievable and there is a sense of déjà vu as it unfolds. The way a boxing tournament is conducted is not presented in the right manner. It has a racy first half but starts plodding in the second half.</div> <div style="line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px;"> On the whole, a perfect summer outing with your family.</div> </div> </div>
