Story
The movie begins on an interesting note in a colourful manner with a peppy song featuring music composer Devi Sri rasad.

She suggests he talk to her friend. In the meantime, Vijay runs into Paro(Sameera Reddy) and her gang of friends who rag all boys in college. But Prabhakaran outwits them. Paro comes to know the other side of Prabhakaran. And as expected fall for him.
Meanwhile, Divya is often troubled by some goons and Prabhakaran saves her. A flashback reveals the mission Prabhakaran is up to and he is on an undercover. A sibling story in undercover backdrop
Performance
Vishal is at ease in his role -- fighting with panache and dancing with elan. He seems to have come out of Avan Ivan mode. The expressions and his angry young man's portrayal sit well on him. Impressive is Sameera Reddy. She is more than a regular heroine. She is at ease in her encounters with Vishal. She shakes her legs well for the songs. Poonam Kaur is impressive in her role. Watch out for some interesting cameos in the film.
Technicalities
Music by Vijay Antony is the highlight. For a commercial film, he does all justice. The songs Icchu and Eppadi mazhai are impressive. Cinematography by R D Rajasekhar is other major highlight. He captures Kolkata well. The sleek editing by V T Vijayan adds pace to the script. Prabhudeva has crafted the film in an interesting manner and there are no dull moments.
Analysis
Though a remake of a Telugu hit (Sowriyam), the movie is entertaining and enjoyable, for there are smart changes in the script to suit Tamil audience. However it ends up as a predictable cliched commercial masala.
Verdict : A wholesome entertainer 3/5.
