The similar fare from Udayakrishna - Siby K. Thomas. But I've noticed the minute you stop reducing Suraaj's role or don't take him in a movie the standard of the movie seems to be much better.

An average fare. Doesn't bore you.

Twist on twist on twist. Rich clothes, shades and accessories, amazing cars and exotic locations.

An average runner. If Abbas-Mustan plans on making a Race 3, they better avoid Anil Kapoor and his bimbette sidekick; because if they think this brings the humor element to the movie then its an EPIC FAIL.

A very general comic movie trying to cash in on the Kunchacko-Biju Menon popularity. However 2 convicts serving as priests and not getting caught is a little too far fetched.

An average runner.

Good entry for both the hero and heroine, post which the movie falls flat and is not even worth watching for the songs. Mindless comedy, action and songs.

A total waste of 2h 40mins and a complete disappointment from Karthi after his last failure Saguni.

Nothing new. Nothing great. Another mindless movie by a debutante director.

Looks like the 1st hit of the year. Good songs. Perfect acting from Fahad and Andrea. Surprise elements in Ranjith and Aashiq Abu who play prominent roles in the movie.

Only drawback is that the movie could have been cut short by some 30 mins. The movie was 2h and 50mins.

Entry

Rating - 0.5/5

I really do not know why such movies are made and why they take people like Ranjini Haridas to act.
