Now what is Pasupathi an actor of substance doing in a crass comedy and playing a goofy good fella like Vedigundu Murugesan? The sheer foolishness of the plot and the presentation make you cringe.

The character he plays is clichéd, so many other heroes have played the small petty loud mouth and ruffian with a heart of gold getting framed up for a crime he did not commit and against all odds turning the tables on the bad guys in the last reel.

Vedigundu Murugesan (Pasupathy) is a small time guy who breaks the law occasionally, but is a good Samaritan in the eyes of the local judge (Nirmala Perisamy) as he provides shelter and looks after a mentally challenged girl Ponni.

A lady constable Nachiya (Jyothirmayi) who rubs Murugesan the wrong way falls in love with him, due to his humanitarian nature and the will to help others. Soon Ponni is raped by one of the baddies, leading to the final climax in the hospital.

All the actors overact to the hilt, especially in soap opera like sentiments something that used to work with B & C audiences in early 70’s. However Pasupathi is good in the court room scenes and a few places where he tries to spread messages about cleanliness, and his interpretations about our archaic laws. The music of Dheena is rubbish, and technically it is tacky.

The only plus point in the film is the knock out comedy track of Vadivel as ‘Alert Arumugham’. The film can be seen only for Vadivel’s slapstick madness and his impeccable comic timing. The film as a whole drags and you are relived when it is over after 2 hours and 32 minutes!

Verdict- Below Average
