A well-timed Sixer from Venkat Prabhu and Suriya.

Venkat Prabhu seems to have gelled well with Suriya, and it shows on screen. To experience more on what Suriya has done in the film, just head to a theater nearby. We aren't writing anything more about his role! (more)

In all, the movie is a good watch for this late summer to quell your thirst with laughs and occasional suprises.

Suriya's characterization as Masss the hero and as a Srilankan Tamilian is commendable, as with all of VP's movies, he brings out the best out of his heroes. Suriya's dialogue delivery and screen presence catapults the movie forward, to quote the scene when he feels for his friend Premji in front of Nayanthara is hilarious. (more)

Entertainment Guaranteed

A no-holds barred entertainer

Sloppy, with a not-bad second half

The idea behind the supernaturally themed Massu is terrific, even it feels like a mashup of many spirit-driven films. (Ghost, The Sixth Sense, even Pisaasu � they all take turns possessing this screenplay.) And Venkat Prabhu keeps coming up with googlies.(more)

Massu Engira Masilamani entertains

The film is a fantasy supernatural thriller with all the twists and turns, suspense, action and fun that we have come to expect from a Venkat Prabhu film. Venkat Prabhu keeps the momentum going right from the opening scene. There is, however, a lot of chaos, until he decides to reveal it all at the very end. (more)
