Just came from watching this movie. Mighty satisfied. A movie that is witty, funny and philosophical. All round supreme performances. Nani as usual just nailed his part. He is one of the finest actors we have got at the moment(sharvanand and srini avasarala are others that come to mind). May we get to see more from such talented actors. Malavika did not have much scope to perform but she was pretty good too (and beautiful). Vijay could become another fine actor if he chooses his roles well.

When he attempts to fill in the shoes of an over-achiever who is flush with money and is in the process of buying a villa in an exclusive gated community, he isn't that convincing. When he wears business suits and goes about clinching business deals, he isn't convincing. The moment he realizes he isn't cut out for that world and reverts to being the boy-next-door, it is like he's a tran....
