Story: Thirumurthy (Madhavan), who is scared of any sort of violence, is tricked by younger brother Gurumurthy (Arya) into taking up the job of a sub-inspector after their father dies in harness.
After Thiru is unwittingly put in the line of fire at his first posting in Thoothukudi, Guru arrives to help him handle the various goons that inhabit the port city and run various illegal operations. Thiru becomes the cynosure of all eyes and rises in stature after Guru does all the grunt work for him, but it is only a matter of time before Annachi (Ashutosh Rana) finds out the truth about the brothers and unleashes all his henchmen at them.
Movie Review: It is festival time and the season for bonding. In keeping with the mood, Thiru and Guru form a band of brothers that bonds with a band of sisters comprising Vasanthi (Sameera Reddy) and Jayanthi (Amala Paul). It is this bonding that works for the movie, and helps maintain audience interest.
In his second consecutive release in Tamil after "Manmadhan Ambu" in 2010, Madhavan displays an uncanny talent for comedy. He is perfect as the scared cat Thiru, who would prefer to remain in the background rather than take on the criminals but revels in the plaudits that come his way thanks to the hard work done by his sibling. Though there is nothing new in the scheme of things, the film remains engaging till this point and moves into mediocre territory once the character makes a U-turn from his timid behaviour.
Arya plays Guru with nonchalance, delivering one-liners and dispensing beatings with the same demeanor. Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul do a good job as sisters-in-arms. Another Bollywood villain Ashutosh Rana marks his Tamil debut in a Lingusamy film after Atul Kulkarni in "Run" and Milind Soman in "Paiyya", and thankfully lets his menacing eyes do the talking rather than rave and rant like regular Kollywood villains.
Lingusamy does a good job in fleshing out the sparring of Arya and Sameera, with the former obviously enjoying his bad boy act. Though there is nothing new in terms of the story or screenplay, the movie is a fun ride as long as it lasts.
