Comedy built on rhythm not noise
The craft is simple and mostly right. Jagadeesh Sundaramurthy frames the house well, so you always know who is where, which is half the battle in a door-and-people comedy. Achu Rajamani�s score nudges the pace. The mystery is more a corridor than a maze, and a couple of reveals land soft, but the film never promises a dark thriller anyway. Also, we've seen this 'filmmaker inside a film' idea many times. It is not novel, it is nicely made, and that is enough.(more)

A goofy laugh riot with a warm beating heart
Kumaara Sambavam manages to bring in the right amount of preachiness. The messaging here is not going against the grain of the film, but it is neatly ingrained in the narrative. The messaging is never in your face, even if it is a constant undercurrent throughout. We learn more about Varadhan through Kumaran's investigation, and in a neat flourish, we understand the former's machinations only when the latter connects the dots. But this 'is he good or is he bad' narrative comes with a sense of repetition that is tedious. Nevertheless, the comedy comes to save the day.(more)
