It did not justify being present in the movie at all. The "anal mele" song disappointed me, I expected more given the placement of the song when the audience are bound to get uneasy on their seats. The scenes with this pair pale in comparison to those between Surya - Simran and Surya - Sameera. The journalist rescue mission, the gaana song are the most obvious waste of time segments in the movie. But it does sag and has some unneccessary segments that could have been chopped off. Alright, the movie is intended to be on its own terms. The Kaakka kaakka chase scenes were truly memorable - and having set such a standard, Gautam does not disappoint in this segment. The young kid rescue mission and the re-recording in that segment.Right through the movie - I loved the chemistry as much as the intent to pay an honest tribute to dads. The image of a young kid surya looking at his dad when their family poses for a snap is a brilliant director's touch to summarize the hero worship integral to any dad - son relationship.
The dad-son chemistry - Ok, it is slightly idealistic and full of "nuni-naakku-english" but it is pretty much from the heart and I could see the genuineness in it.Very enjoyable indeed - both these songs. I am not bad afterall!) The song is complete in being a tribute to those times with its rain dance segment - the signature of the 80s songs. (As acknowledged by Gautam Menon in one interview.
Again, the choreography in "Yethi yethi" is SO SO SO similar to Anjali's "something" or Agni natchatram's "Raja". Gautam has handled this song very intelligently to give the authentic 70s feel. "Mundinam" is a joy to watch due to the props and sets.
