But after the death of his father, he has to return to make things good for his joint family. What happens in-between forms the crux of the story.

Story is average but the screenplay makes it better. The Dialogues are very well written.

Vijay is terrific in his role, he is just outstanding. Rashmika is also good in her part. The supporting cast has done a decent job as well.

The only weakness we found in the film is the absence of uniqueness that we expect from south indian movies these days.
