The plot, the flashback and the ending seems fresh for a Tamil film. The director does a great job of maintaining the pace of an unusual and otherwise focused (barring the annoying comedy track by Vivek) plot. The acting is uniformly average while Bharadwaj’s Charukesi strains in Thaiyyatha has immense appeal. Some of the specific scenes like the race with villains towards the end and the camera angles in the action scenes display Susee Ganesan’s aptitude to make a difference. The ending, albeit sudden, is perfectly appropriate given the lead character’s illegal, but enjoyable behaviour throughout the movie! Highly entertaining!
