The backstory involving Kombaiya Pandian and Kidaaris father Kottur Durai (Napoleon, returning to the big screen after a few years) is so been-there-seen-that and overlong that it leads to an underwhelming end. It is only in the final denouement that the film resorts to clich. The film manages to be engaging enough, with Murugesan nicely introducing humour (one old character who makes empty boasts is a scene-stealer) into the violent scenes.

There is a whiff of Gangs Of Wasseypur in the films proceedings: the usage of the device of a narrator to tell us the bloody events of the past, the numerous rivalries, the stark cinematography (by SR Kathir), the grungy score (by Darbuka Siva) and even the Aatukaara Sandhu, the street where Kombaiya Pandian lives, is similar to the alley in which the protagonists of that film lived surrounded by houses belonging to Pandians men and a no entry zone for outsiders. He takes on his godfathers enemies without batting an eyelid, furtively romances the girl in the house, and stays extremely loyal in short, does everything that we expect a hero to do. While everyone in the place seem to be one kind of schemer or the other, he is just a vettai naai (as the narrator describes him). The characters feel real (though, we wish some very interesting ones like Loganayagi, who starts an affair with Udayanambi upon her husbands suggestion to get her revenge, had been given more screen time) and the choice of actors is excellent.

He shows us who these characters are and then narrates the events of the past that triggered enmity between them and Pandian in episodic fashion. Could it be Bombay Selvam and Kadakkarai who have tried to take revenge for Pandian murdering the formers father, Market Singaraj What about Pulikuthi Pandian (OAK Sundar), a smooth-talking relative, whose businesses Pandian ruthlessly usurped Is it Loganayagi (Suja Varunee) and Gandhimathi Nathan, a couple who are baying for blood because Pandians arbitration left their son dead Why not Mappillai Vinayagam, a politician who wants to be the boss of the place There is also Pandians own son Udayanambi, who is tired of being treated as the third wheel and is jealous of his fathers preference for his Man Friday Kidaari (Sasikumar) Prasath Murugesan uses a novel-like approach to present these suspects.
