In the shades of MGR's Kudiiruntha Koil and Sivaji Ganesan's Manohara, the movie begins with a selfish Rajguru (Nasser), who is keen on usurping the Veera Chozhapura Palayam kingdom. As Ugiraputhan, a brave youth seeking to reform the society, he plays a serious role and walks with aplomb.Īlso Nasser, Ilavarasu and Sriman are other standouts in this film, which otherwise is a collage of several spoofs on kings and emperors that we have either read or heard. Specially as Pulikesi, Vadivelu brings the house down applause whenever he appears on the screen. Vadivelu playing the dual role is a real revelation.
Utilizing the opportunity well, this actor sparks emotions, plays fool on others, romances, fights with guts and runs for cover at times too. Vadivelu playing the hero for the first time has gone hammer and tongs. Thankfully, he doesn't preach much in his film and leaves everything to the audience discretion. A movie set in 18th century, Simbu Devan has speckled the film with present day happenings like cola war, brand endorsements by celebrities and so on.
Though the characters speak chaste Tamil, it is quite close to the audience's grasp and they laugh all the way. Simbu Devan needs to be congratulated for thinking out of the box and at the same time director Shankar needs to be patted for giving an opportunity to Simbu Devan to prove his skills.

Director Simbu Devan, even while making it full of fun, has used his intelligence to lace it with biting satire on many contemporary events. Vadivelu, the prime mover of the movie, makes it all work. But to our happy surprise, it works - big time, at that.
