An entertainer by director Shafi, a remake of his Malayalam hit "Thommanum Makkalum".

The story is about Govindan (Manivannan) and his adopted sons Aadi (Pashupathy) and Mathi ( Vikram) who are petty robbers in their hometown. Both Aadi and Mathi were orphans and thick friends who ran away from the orphanage together, when they were small. They are tough and don't care for anything or anybody other than their adopted father who they met on the streets. Govindan who had lost his family in an accident, took to the kids. The trio had been together ever since.

The movie begins with them deciding to change for good and start life all over as good hardworking citizens. They sell their home, buy a lorry and leave their hometown for good. On the way one night their lorry breaks down in the outskirts of a small village. They get involved with a family there - a retired agricultural Officer Vijayakumar and his three daughters and stay back to protect them from the wiles of Kalingarayar (Murali), the landlord who rules the village. The officer is indebted to Rayar and has pledged his house to him.

The rest of the story deals with their fights with Rayar and his men, the truce between them, with Rayar's only daughter Seetha (Asin) getting engaged to Mathi, the entry of the real villain Manicka Vel (Biju Menon); Thevar's late wife's brother who had an eye on Seetha, he trying to frame Aadi in a theft, the misunderstanding caused by him between Aadi and Mathi and the inevitable happy ending..

The movie is predictable to the core but has light hearted humour and a smooth pace. The bonding between the main protagonists is depicted well. Songs by Vidyasagar have nothing fresh about them, but the numbers Sollitharava and Chellame Chellame are hummable. The cinematography and the settings are good.

Vikram after his hit Anniyan portrays a light hearted role very different from the latter and gives a commendable performance. But it is Pasupathy who steals the show with his perfect comic timing. The sequences where he tries to woo one of Vijayakumar's daughter with his broken English is hilarious. The villain of the film Virumandi proves that he can handle comical roles equally well. The heroines have nothing much to do. Manivannan as the father is good.

Overall it is a clean family entertainer worth a watch.
