Plot

Ramarajan portrays a police officer and Prathyusha stars as a college student, who is a prankster who often gets others into trouble. Prathyusha witnesses few terrorists planning to kill a minister — but nobody is ready to believe her. Whether Ramarajan stops the terrorist attack forms the crux of the story.

Cast

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Pradeep Ravi and lyrics by Kamakodiyan and Pa. Vijay.[3][4]

Reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote that "Almost all of Ramarajan's roles have been that of a rustic. And one often felt that the hero should go in for a change of image. But after watching him in action as the super cop here, one feels the hero was better off playing the rustic simpleton!".[2]
