In this situation, John Vijay assigns the job of stealing Pandiyarajan’s drug to the duo.

Yogibabu gives Rs 50 lakhs that he took for this job to politician Ravi Maria.

Yogi asks Ravi Maria to return the money only if he comes and asks for it.

When the duo arrive at Pandiarajan’s lab to collect the research drug, the drug is mistakenly administered to Yogi Babu, who turns into a woman (Hansika). The riots that follow are the story of this film.

Analysis:

Directed by Manoj Damodharan, the movie has a decent premise. However, it is let down by poor writing and screenplay.

Most of the scenes do not connect with the audience. It is difficult to make out whether it is serious scene or a humours one.

Aadhi who is making a come back to Tamil has delivered what was expected from him. But there is not much scope for his character.

Hansika’s character seems to be functional and there is nothing much to talk about it.

Rest of the cast including, Yogi Babu, Robo Shankar, Ravi Maria, Munishkanth, and Thangadurai try to evoke laughter but none of their characters create the much needed impact.

John Vijay as the villain does not have much screenspace and appears in only a few scenes.

Santhosh Dhayanidhi’s music and Shabir Ahmed’s camerawork are good.

Rating: 3.2/5
