The director is just 24? That's impressive! Hope he lives up to the hype. The cast looks solid though - Yogi Babu always delivers the laughs.

While I appreciate family-friendly content, I hope this isn't another predictable "happy family goes on trip" storyline. Tamil cinema needs to innovate even within the family genre.
