One line story: A man (Karthi-Kali) lives in Pulianthope slum area in North Chennai and he takes revenge for his friend's death.
After series of failures, a success movie for Karthi, well done...
Plot: Kali works in a private company and a footballer. He falls in love with a girl (Kalaiselvi-Catherine) and his friend Anbu and his wife Mary help them. Anbu works for a rowdy Mari and his rival is Kannan. The two groups dominate in the area and fights for capturing wall writing in the area. Mari takes on his rival side and helps to kill Anbu after he kills Kannan's son in a quarrel. Kali takes revenge on Mari when he comes to know about Mari. Finally, Kali and Kalaiselvi become teacher and teach the slum students.
Flaws:
1. Kalaiselvi has extra makeup and there is lacking in nativity
2. Her dubbing voice doesn't match with the slum people slang.
3. She constantly opposing her boyfriend from entering into rowdyism. After she knows about a friend Johnny's death, she suddenly changes her mind. This makes the audience doubting Kalaiselvi.
4. North ChennI is famous for putting up banners and cut-outs and this is missing in the movie.
5. Except one song, others are not fixed in the mind of the audience after they comes out of the movie hall
The director Pa Ranjith has attempted to make a full-fledged movie targeting the "C" centre audience and he is definitely successful in his attempt.
Positives:
1. The love scenes between Kali and Kalaiselvi gets applause from the audience. When she proposes her love to him, there is a huge wave of laugh among the audience.
2. The spine-chilling chases and murder inside the court scene are nail-biting scenes.
3. The marriage engagement and it's follow up altercation have the nativity feel.
Marks: 3.5 out of 10.
