Surya
and
Asin
proved
a
successful
and
hit
pair
through
Gajini
in
Telugu.
A
Tamil
film
Vel
with
the
hit
pair
was
eyed
by
Bellamkonda
Suresh,
who
in
association
with
KVV
Satyanarayana
and
Sakhamuri
Panduranga
Rao
and
was
dubbed
into
Telugu
as
Deva.
After
bagging
the
Telugu
screening
rights
of
the
film,
Bellamkonda
Suresh
planned
to
remake
it
in
Telugu
but
dropped
the
idea
and
released
the
dubbed
version.
Director
Hari,
who
is
known
for
directing
several
commercial
hits
in
Tamil
wielded
the
megaphone
for
this
movie
and
made
it
a
racy
entertainer.
After
Peralagan
(Sundarangudu
in
Telugu),
Surya
has
played
dual
roles
in
this
movie.
Vasu
(Suriya)
runs
a
private
detective
agency.
His
parents
(Charan
Raj
and
Saranya)
love
him
very
much.
However,
Vasu's
mother
always
cries
for
missing
one
of
her
children
and
brother
of
Vasu.
Incidentally,
there
is
a
village
near
Kakinada,
where
a
family
brings
up
that
boy.
The
boy
is
named
as
Deva
(Surya).
Especially,
the
grandmother
(Lakshmi)
loves
him
very
much
and
has
an
emotional
attachment
towards
him.Vasu
falls
in
love
with
Swati,
an
anchor
of
a
private
TV
channel.
In
the
course
of
time,
Deva
happens
to
see
Vasu
and
surprises
how
a
person
with
similar
features
like
him
is
in
Hyderabad.
He
also
sees
Vasu's
parents
and
feels
some
kind
of
intimacy
or
attachment.
Accidentally,
Swati
also
sees
Deva
and
tells
Vasu
about
him
by
showing
the
video
footage.
Vasu
goes
to
the
village
and
tells
the
grandmother,
uncles
of
Deva
that
he
was
his
missed
brother,
and
pleads
with
them
to
send
Deva
with
him.
They
do
not
approve.
So,
Vasu
and
Deva
come
to
a
deal
and
change
their
positions.
Vasu
stays
as
Deva
in
the
village
while
Deva
goes
to
the
city
as
Vasu.
In
the
village,
there
is
a
big
rivalry
between
Deva's
family
and
Nagabhushanam
(Kalabhavan
Mani).
In
order
to
save
Deva
from
not
becoming
a
murderer,
Vasu
decides
to
teach
Nagabhushanam
a
lesson
and
get
him
punished
by
the
law.
With
all
his
detective
knowledge,
he
gathers
all
the
information
through
his
network
and
starts
pinching
Nagabhushanam
in
all
ways.
In
a
bid
to
take
revenge,
Nagabhushanam
plans
to
kill
one
of
the
family
members
of
Deva
and
almost
succeeds
in
making
an
attempt
to
kill
Deva's
grandmother,
who
survives
with
the
timely
intervention
of
Vasu.
At
that
time,
Deva's
family
members
find
that
it
was
not
Deva
but
Vasu,
who
is
with
them.
The
secret
also
goes
to
Nagabhushanam.
Vasu
continues
his
efforts
and
checkmates
Nagabhushanam
from
all
corners.
Nagabhushanam
is
killed
himself
as
he
carries
a
bomb
with
him
at
the
waist.
PLUS:
For
Surya,
the
roles
are
not
very
challenging
and
have
done
it
with
good
ease.
Though
the
roles
appear
routine,
the
way
he
has
handled
them
look
special.
He
breathes
fire
as
Deva
and
spreads
charm
as
Vasu.
He
has
showed
good
variation
between
both
the
roles
through
body
language
and
dialogue
delivery.
His
performance
in
emotional
sequences
is
touching.
His
on
screen
chemistry
with
Asin
has
clicked
well.
Asin
did
not
get
opportunity
to
show
her
prowess
in
performance
but
she
does
have
her
moments.
She
too
handled
her
role
with
good
ease
and
brilliance.
She
shows
her
calibre
when
she
looks
at
her
lover
in
the
village
house
with
admiration
and
love.
Another
highlight
in
the
film
is
the
performance
of
Kalabhavan
Mani
as
villain.
He
added
life
to
the
proceedings
by
his
inimitable
style.
Vadivelu's
comedy
is
amazing,
who
remained
an
asset
The
man
is
definitely
one
of
the
major
assets
of
the
film.
MINUS:
Though
Yuvan
Shankar
Raja
scored
good
music
for
the
film,
it
has
complete
Tamil
scent.
Though
the
hero
played
dual
roles,
there
is
only
one
heroine
and
the
second
character
has
no
female
lead.
Though
there
is
a
little
comedy
relief
in
the
first
half
of
the
film,
it
is
totally
missing
in
the
second
half.
However,
the
director
tried
to
maintain
emotional
scenes
to
compensate
it.
REMARKS:
Director
Hari
has
proved
his
calibre
with
good
script
and
its
smart
execution.
The
film
showcases
his
ability
to
create
a
racy
entertainer.
He
has
treaded
a
safe
path
to
make
a
commercially
viable
film
by
choosing
a
routine
theme
based
on
sentiment
and
action.
But
the
treatment
he
has
given
to
the
story
is
commendable.
He
has
brought
out
the
film
in
such
a
way
that
the
audience
do
not
feel
bored
at
any
scene.
The
mult-dimensional
climax
coupled
with
action
and
sentiment
is
good
and
appealing.
Especially,
the
movie
has
action,
sentiment
and
romance.
The
script,
which
is
compact,
is
well
complemented
by
the
performances.
