STORY:

Kumbiduren Saamy(Arya) and Valter (Vishal) are the two sons born to same father but different mothers. Valter lives with his mother Mary (Ambika). The brothers have a gala time in their village living life in their own way.

G.M Kumar plays the dethroned Zamindar, who still rides on the pride that his kingdom owned the landscapes around him. He cares for his villagers like his own subjects, just the way his forefathers did. Stepbrothers Walter Vanangamudi (Vishal) and Kumbideran Saamy (Aarya) are thieves.

Aarya, the younger brother, is an elusive thief with a quick sense of mind, while Vishal is a simpleton, who tries his hand at thievery, with little success. Vishal’s heart lies in plays, acting and dance, which makes him believe, he is more of an artist than a thief. Both the brothers are the trusted stooges of the Zamindar.. Though they occupy each sides of the Zamindar, the brothers do not see eye to eye.

One day, zamindar gets insulted by a forest ranger and he wants to take revenge on them. He takes the help of Valter and Saamy. The brothers block the way of forest ranger and attack him. Police rush to the spot and Valter escapes, while Saamy takes on his heels. Meanwhile, zamindar comes across a man (RK) involved in illegal business of sending cattle for slaughter to Kerala from Tamilnadu border. zamindar helps Blue Cross and police arrest him.

Will RK take his revenge on zamindar? & will Valter, Saamy stop RK leads to the climax.

PERFFORMANCES:
Vishal steals the show with his terrific histrionics. Vishal as the gender-confused individual, movingly brings the man and woman out of him.
who not only experimented with the deglamorized role himself, but also changed his natural look for the character.
Aarya perfectly fits in the role.He too does a good job
.Debutant Janani Iyer as Constable Baby, is of prominence to some extent .
GM Kumar was promising in his role. RK and Ambika are good at their respective roles.
The entry of Suriya, as a cameo, with a rocking background score is a visual feast to the audience.

PLUS POINTS:
The number one plus point is the direction of Bala as it has been for all his films
Vishal-Arya combination was superb, their chemistry was good.
Gm kumar as zamindar
The veteran actress Ambika, as Vishal's foul mouthed mother.
The background music by yuvan Shankar raja

MINUS:
Thin story line, the characters in the movie were good but they did not have a good story line to play.
Predictable second half

Verdict:
Overall it’s a good movie to watch and has all aspects in it. The film is realistic and natural. Cinematography is good. Its worth a watch and not more than it....one time watch.....
