The
success
of
success
Nani-Nithya
Menon
combo
in
Ala
Modalaindi
created
a
hype
on
their
next
film
Sega.
Adding
to
that
the
movie
is
coming
from
Gautham
Menon's
home
production
Photon
Kathaas.
But
the
poor
screenplay
by
newcomer
Anjana
Ali
Khan
has
played
the
spoilsport.
Story:
Karthik
(Nani)
and
Balaji
(Muthukumar)
are
the
sons
of
a
drunkard,
who
left
the
family
to
their
fate.
Their
mother,
who
was
a
patient,
commits
suicide
by
taking
poison
from
the
hands
of
Balaji.
Karthik
and
Balaji
were
brought
up
by
their
uncle,
who
is
a
painter.
Though
Balaji
ekes
out
a
living
by
painting
the
sign
boards,
he
wants
to
give
a
good
education
to
Karthik.
Karthik
and
his
uncle"s
daughter
(Nithya
Menon)
love
each
other.
Karthik
has
a
friend
called
Vishnu
(Karthik),
who
runs
a
mechanic
shed.
Karthik"s
father,
who
was
once
a
drunkard
turns
a
broker
and
runs
a
brothel
on
his
own.
He
has
the
support
of
Ammaji
(Jennifer)
who
smuggles
drugs
and
used
to
drug-trafficking.
Vishnu
falls
in
love
with
Vani
(Bindu
Madhavi),
a
prostitute
in
the
brothel.
Once,
Vishnu
meets
the
broker
and
agrees
to
transport
the
drugs
to
Goa
on
a
condition
that
the
broker
should
leave
Vani
to
her.
However,
Vani
comes
to
know
that
the
broker
is
planning
to
get
rid
of
both
Vishnu
and
Karthik
and
alerts
them.
While
Karthik
and
Vishnu
returns
to
their
place
there
was
a
minor
scuffle
and
after
Karthik
suffers
a
head
injury,
Vishnu
gets
killed.
Everybody
presumes
that
Karthik
killed
Vishnu.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Performance:
Nani
has
done
a
neat
job
within
his
limits.
He
is
apt
for
the
role.
He
Karthik
too
is
okay.
Nithya
Menon
and
Bindu
Madhavi
have
no
big
roles
to
play.
While
Bindu
Madhavi
has
filled
the
glamour
slot,
Nithya
Menon
is
also
good
in
modern
costumes
in
a
song.
Other
artistes
including
Muthukumar,
Jennifer
and
others
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Technical:
Dialogues
by
Sashank
Vennelakanti
are
good
in
parts.
Camera
work
by
Om
Prakash
is
laudable,
as
he
has
perfectly
captured
the
slum
localities,
songs
and
action
scenes.
Editing
by
Antony
is
okay.
Music
by
Joshua
Sridhar
is
good
as
two
songs
in
the
film
are
quite
melodious
and
topped
the
charts
at
one
point
of
time.
Background
score
is
also
okay
and
lifted
the
moods
of
some
scenes.
Storyline
is
okay
but
the
director
has
failed
to
narrate
it
properly.
Being
a
woman,
Anjana
has
failed
to
handle
the
film
with
a
little
action
and
drugs
backdrop.
The
screenplay
penned
for
the
film
lacked
the
sharpness.
Hence,
the
film
runs
on
a
nominal
way
and
most
of
the
scenes
are
quite
predictable
and
there
is
nothing
novel
either
in
narration
or
its
presentation.
Remarks:
It
is
just
a
time
pass
film
and
don"t
expect
anything
high
from
the
film.
The
combination
of
Nani-Nithya
Menon
only
created
the
hype
on
the
film
and
actually
there
is
not
much
to
talk
about
the
scenes
involving
them.
