It’s a nice screenplay thought with Maduravani (Samantha) to end the movie.

Cinematography  and music has driven the movie to the next level. Mickey.J.Meyer scoring was well merged with the periodic Melodies. Dani Sanchez-lopez  has savitri in the face keerthy Suresh with his lighting. The art department has brought the life in to the picture.

Keerthi Suresh has done justice to her role. Her introduction as Savitri in acting without glycerin has made a great impact. Keerthi Suresh has carried herself as Savitri in the whole movie.

He outshines other in the first half in the romantic scenes with Savitri.
