Story
A regular story, the tale is set on the backdrop of the Rajapalayam village and here lives Guru Murthy (satyaraj), a very rich and powerful person, he is also a financier. Then there is Eetu (sundar) who is a happy go lucky guy with a care a damn attitude. Sequences get Eetu to Guru and in no time, they become the best of friends. The story takes a turn with the arrival of Mahalakshmi (saranya) in the village. Guru hates her to the core and is keen on giving her trouble at every point of time. On the other hand, Eetu gets into a steamy affair with Shruthi (hema malini). Why Guru hates Mahalakshmi? Who is Eetu? All this forms the rest of the story.
Presentation
The director has come up with a predictable masala tale and he has padded it with presentation and narrative. The dialogues were witty, especially the one liners, the script was okay and the screenplay was suitable. Background score was good but songs were not good except for the visual feast. Cinematography captured few angles well. Editing was alright, costumes were okay and the art deparment was impressive. Sathyaraj carried out his role with elegance and he did his part very well, Sundar C also gave a competent performance and made his presence felt, Hemamalini was a walking bombshell who gave a complete dose of oomph factor and sex appeal, Saranya was effective, Santhanam was hilarious, Kiran Rathod was brief.
Conclusion
The film has been made keeping in mind the B and C Center audience and since the objective was clear, the maker has not tried to experiment anywhere. While the first half goes on the lighter side with romance, action and comedy, the second half gets serious with sentiment, flashback and melodrama. Overall, the mass audience will connect to the film in a good way while the urban centers will be weak. At the box office, this could just be a profit grosser.
