Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Who'll love it
Best for people who need a good giggle and anyone after some adrenaline. Popcorn viewing in the best sense.

Funny with heart.
The pace
Grand in scale, at 2 hr 45 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 45 min.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Madhavan is a petty thief who is accused of stealing the idol of the village goddess. However, he soon escapes police custody and tries to find the real culprit.
