Getting a job at a company owned by a devout Muslim (Jaiganesh) makes him put on the garb of Hussein, a Muslim.

Reception


Aravind of indolink.com, criticized the film and actor Karthik : "Karthik should spit out whatever he has in his mouth before delivering the dialogues. His mannerisms are also getting on people's nerves."[3]

Balaji Balasubramaniam gave 1.5 out of 5 and he said : "The director's flair for comedy is obvious at several places but unfortunately, is not sustained throughout the movie. But the segments where Karthik shuffles his identities are not as hilarious. The unnecessary, shortlived diversion into 'masala' elements hurts the movie even more. And the introduction of a villain and the fight in the bottling factory are needless and serve no purpose other than padding the running time."[4]

A reviewer from Screen magazine called the film "a total farce which taxes the patience of the viewers", noting it was a "washout" at the box office.[7]
