A middling comedy that becomes preachy

The premise ensures that Comali is adequately entertaining right from the word go. The first half in fact races ahead. It is what you would call an easy watch till this point. You are not laughing out loud but the smiles are rather consistent. Jayam Ravi keeps it simple and Yogi Babu is effective in...(more)

Jayam Ravi and Yogi Babu's chemistry bolsters Comali, an entertaining film with a good mix of fun and emotions.

The Chennai flood scenes are executed well and have a good connection to the story's emotional climax. Jayam Ravi's acting in the important pre-climax might remind you the Santhosh Subramanian scene with Prakash Raj, but the actor had delivered the emotional scenes really well that makes you ignore ...(more)

Jayam Ravi carries a largely lighthearted film on his shoulders, as both a student and a joker

Comali is packaged as a jolly-feel-good entertainer, laced with emotions and nostalgia. The crackling onscreen bonding between Ravi and Yogi makes it enjoyable to a large extent.(more)

An entertaining first half didn't have an equally engaging latter half because of some melodramatic scenes.

Yogi Babu does score big in a few scenes - he bring the house down and complements the humour scenes with Ravi. Samyuktha and Ananthi are convincing in their characters. Kajal's characterisation and Shah Ra's over the top performance in some scenes should have dealt with in a better way. KS Ravikuma...(more)

Go for this timepass entertainer with a few strong messages

The screenplay fails to capitalize on the novel premise of a coma patient waking up after several years. The first half struggles to move forward and the second half suddenly takes an entirely different path leaving the audience in a confused state and the novelty of the film is lost in the bargain....(more)

This Jayam Ravi comedy is a winner

Comali is an out-and-out mindless entertainer. But it somehow manages to hit the right chord on several counts. It deserves to be appreciated for its effort to repose people's faith in the goodness of human beings. It is also sort of reminds us where we come from and the things we have lost in the n...(more)
