Yogi Babu and Vadivukkarasi in a film together? That itself is a reason to watch! 😄 Also, Sean Roldan's music is always top-notch. Hope this one lives up to the hype—Tamil cinema needs more fresh, lighthearted content like this.
Interesting that a film about "cons" (con men?) is getting a U/A certificate. Perhaps the censors felt the comedy outweighs any moral ambiguity. I'm curious how they'll balance entertainment with the ethical lessons. Will definitely check it out once it streams.
Arjun Das as an Electricity department employee? That sounds hilarious! And with VTV Ganesh as co-worker, it could be comedy gold. Three get-ups in one film—now that's commitment. Hope the plot doesn't get too preachy; just let us laugh, please! 🤞
Nice to see a film get cleared without much drama from the CBFC these days. But honestly, why U/A for what seems like a clean family entertainer? The censors should be more consistent. Anyway, the cast looks solid—Anna Ben always delivers. Just hope the dialogues don't have unnecessary double entendres.
Real-life inspired con stories? Sounds like a mix of comedy and suspense. I appreciate that they're not just making mindless comedies. Arjun Das has been choosing interesting roles lately. Also, great to see strong female leads like Anna Ben getting mainstream space in Tamil cinema. Watching it opening day! 🌟
