In this film, Vijay Yesudas plays the role of an established singer. The reality show named Crime And Music forms the backdrop of the story. The speciality of this reality show is that it features a number of convicts taking part in the competition. Bala plays a goon who is a convict now and is also taking part in this competition. He develops a special relationship with the character played by Vijay Yesudas, which leads to many unexpected twists in their lives.But the worst part is that, this movie has no meaning in many scenes and characters are just living for the sake of living. They just come and go. And in the end Bala dies. Same cliche story of ultimate death for crime, but we will feel pity for people who acted, who produced and watched this movie. Songs were of no life.
Climax is ultimate game changing plot. Bala actually kills teenage son of Risa Bawa. And he comes to the reality show to kill Bala in the end. But he forgives Bala because he sings well. What a heart. Same Risa Bawa sent a smiling long hair black guy to kill Bala. But anyway Bala gets killed in the end. And he the convict gets killed because he walks home with such a cool attitude saying that it's okay, I am ready to die, so if someone wants to kill me, come on baby!
Veeyen of Nowrunning opined that "At the end of it, Avan is a bit overwrought and wholly fails to move you. There is nothing intriguing in it that would send your pulses racing. The excitement is minimal and so is its emotional depth".[3]
