Performance of the Star Cast - Vishal delivers a stunning performance and he gives a complete justification to his character, for what the plot needs. 'Action King' Arjun steals the show with his superb style of evilness. The director has utilized the potential of Vishal and Arjun very well, which gives a good output to the film. Samantha delivers her best in the given space. Her characterisation is also utilized well with the plot. Robo Shankar gives his best in few humour portions.
