Analysis :

Kamal gave a terrific response as the 'Sivam' who goes through a complete transformation in the looks department. Kamal Hassan once again showed why he is regarded as the best actor from India with his perfect portrayal of this character. The makeup work done to him is superb. SP Balu dubbed Kamal's voice. Madhavan did an excellent portrayal of an arrogant guy who is caught in a web, which made him realize what humanity and humbleness means. Though, he looks little over shadowed in the beginning of the film, as the climax approaches Madhavan character gets elevation. So is the scope to show his histrionics. The one who dubs for Venu has given his voice to Madhavan. Kiran put on a lot of weight. She looks extremely sensuous and charming as 'Bala' in the flashback. Her expressions are very apt and she sensibly shown her womanhood. The dubbing done by Savitha Reddy is perfect. Unfortunately Kiran's role is limited to half an hour. Nasser plays a typical villain role. But it was Uma Riaz who stole the show with her cameo as a fellow female comrade of Kamal in the flashback. The way she argues with Kamal about her secret admiration was simply hilarious.

TeluguOne Perspective :

This film is strictly for the elite audience who does not mind having a look at the philosophical films. Laced with sensible comedy, this art-kind-of film does entertain the people who love Kamal Hassan flicks. 95% of the film has Kamal and Madhavan in all frames. This film might become a bomb at box office, but it would remain as one of the good films made in the recent times. You may watch it at your leisure.
