Story

The story of Ya Ya is not praise worthy. Neither there is a logic nor the screenplay is engaging to entertain the audience.

Screenplay

There are few poorly written scenes and the entire screenplay lacks the basic energy in the flow.

Lead Actors

Shiva has done his usual role and there is nothing new in it. He is being typecast before audience would completely ignore him. Santhanam too has failed to impress, except occasional brilliance.

Female Leads

Dhansika and Sandhya are good looking, but their role is limited. Powerstar Sreenivasan appears and tries to change the mood of the audience.

Tech Performance

Vijay Ebenezer's music is not inspiring but Vetri's cinematography is good. I Rajasekaran, the captain of the ship, could have done a lot more work on his story and screenplay.

Verdict

With names of Shiva and Santhanam in the cast, people were expecting something better. In the end, it is nothing but a waste-of-time affair.
