Director Ganeshaa has opted for the mass route to attract the ‘B’ and ‘C’ center audiences. Besides the gallery pleasing angle, the film also conveys an important message on how youngsters under eighteen are not punished which in turn pushes them into the underworld.

However, the treatment is over the top and filled with mass masala ingredients so it might not appeal all section of audiences. While the first half is quite engaging, the second flows in various directions and ends with a loud fight.
Vijay Antony is quite impressive as the upright cop and his earnest performance is evident throughout the film. Nivetha Pethuraj plays the role of an audacious local cop with Chennai slang, the actress actually provides the much needed comic relief whereas the four youngsters who acted as juvenile criminals are brilliant. After Vada Chennai, Dheena got an interesting role in Thimiru Pudichavan and he has done a neat job.
