The frightened-five packs that body and throws it into a river.The rest of the movie is dealt with how this five-some create laugh riot with their innocuously funny acts.
Analysis :
Kamal looks pretty old in his French-beard getup. But he did a fine job in doing nice comedy. Watching Simran on screen after a gap of 8 months is a welcome change. She is cute and demure. One can't help noticing Simran dancing to glory in her low-rise jeans (like Sonali in Dayi Dayi song of Indra) in the 2nd song of the film. Ramya Krishna is sexy in the getup of a call girl. Jayaram, Ramesh Arvind, Sreeman and Yogi Sethu did well as the buddies of Kamal Hassan. Other heroines like Urvasi, Sanghavi and Aiswarya have a very little role to play.
TeluguOne Perspective :
You can enjoy this black comedy film if you leave your thinking caps behind and forget about logic. It's an out and out comedy film. If you like the kind of Tenali and Brahmachari films, you can enjoy this one too. Over all, it's a total-time-pass film.
