Well, the first thing which strikes me when I saw this movie was its authenticity. The story comes right from the gut of the director. Suseendran manages to create something out of nothing with mere screen play taking the center stage. The story is wafer thin and simple, but the narration nails the audience to their seats though it is just 2hours in length - I managed to enjoy the movie in a Trichy theater with hardly 30 people, no air-condition and a few ceiling fans....

Casting is the next big asset for the movie... Suseendiran's previous movies also had some really authentic casting and the characters typically resemble the roles in which they are casted in.

Appukutty's role as the horseman with a heart of gold has certainly come for praise... initially I was skeptical whether it was a farfetched idea to cast him in the title role, but Susi has disproved my apprehension.

The newcomers who were casted as the anxious romantic couple have put up a decent show and have managed to strike a chord with the audiences.

The Tamil and Mallu priests bring the house down with their rib tickling spells and swelling rivalry.

Saranya Mohan as the heroine has got very little to prove. Better luck next time...

My Verdict: This movie will definitely top the list of Saturday matinee family entertainers which assures laughter and lighten your soul

Rating: 4/5
