TVP is no valentine fare.
It is Thiru, though, who must shoulder the blame for a wishy-washy script, dialogues that need heavy editing, and a trite second-half. Arvind Krishna's cinematography brings a fresh, cool look to the proceedings. T S Suresh's editing is neat while Yuvan, though not very enthusiastic about the songs has made up in the background score. Of the three ladies, Neetu Chandra walks away with the honors. (more)

A few lessons on love!
Vishal makes an impression with his chiseled, well toned body and uber chic costumes. Vishal and Santhanam's comedy is enjoyable. On the technical side, camera work by Arvind Krishna is apt. Costumes are very stylish and suit the mood of the film. On the flip side, first half moves on a languorous pace sometimes testing patience. TVP is a film that can be enjoyed with friends on a lighter note. (more)

The last part of the film is a bane.
With action and romance having let him down badly in the recent past, the hero (Vishal) sports the humor hat in 'Theeradha Vilaiyaattu Pillai'. The ploy works in his favor for almost three fourths of the film. But the story and screenplay meander in the final leg, and writer-director Thiru does little to lift the tempo. Strangely none of the heroines impress much – a clear drawback. Arvind Krishna's cinematography, including the stylish silhouettes and pleasing color tones, is a draw.(more)

Well short of a breezy entertainer.
Clearly Vishal is caught in the action-hero image trap, and he even tries to ape Vijay, Rajnikanth and Suriya in many scenes. The only saving grace is Santhanam's humour. Yuvan's music passes muster. Arvind Krishna's camera work is a major plus. Director Thiru seems to have tied himself in knots over a story that should have been a breezy entertainer. Well, the behind-the-scenes shots that roll at the end of the movie are quite entertaining. (more)

Watch it with no expectations and you won't be too disappointed.
Vishal's TVP starts of in a breezy manner and sets the mood for an engaging romantic comedy but has a far-out plot. The comedy team of Santhanam, Satyan and Mayilsami are a super treat and holds the film together in the first half. The production values, costumes and camera by Aravind Krishna are good. Songs by Yuvan fail to impress. Vishal is earnest and sincere and has struggled hard to have a change of image. (more)

Three cheers, three girls.
Debutant filmmaker Thiru has woven a script that is predominantly aimed at appeasing youngsters. Vishal suits the character well, but at comical scenes his dialogue delivery leaves a lot to be worked out. It is a meaty role which has everything a hero has to perform. Santhanam as usual walks away with applause with his humorous one-liners. Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is average with just a couple of songs hummable while Aravind Krishna's cinematography is cool and pleasant.(more)
