A good concept single line theme becomes a patience tester despite having some excellent performances by all the actors. First things first. It requires a lot of courage for a Top actor to choose such a film as his 25th film. Vijay Sethupathi is known to do the extraordinary and kudos to him. He is fantastic as an aged theatre artist who is past his prime. He has already announced that he is there in the film for only first 40min . The first 40min is very slow and it has VS donning various roles in stage plays. It is only after that the story picks up some momentum. All the actors have acted extremely well and that is the biggest strength of the movie. There are a couple of extended scenes that are hilarious. Govind Vasantha’s music as always hits the bulls eye. At close to 2hr and 50min, the film is too stretched. For a single line message, the director need not have taken so much time. The editor must have slept too. A lovely concept and the film can be watched for the performances.
