Ask anyone who has seen this movie about their opinion and it would weigh on the 2 opposite spectrums of "too good" or "too boring". You may not find anyone remark that it is an average movie because of the subject and the treatment. Agreed that the film does have its share of controversies regarding the portrayal of s/w enggs, call center employees and characterization of Tamil literature read Prabhakar as Lunatic, but inspite of all this what stands out is that at the heart the movie remains a love story.
Jeeva was simply mind blowing in a role that no other young actor would even dare to touch. The new heroine was a refreshing change from the regular duet accompanying and running-around- the-trees chick. The camera and editing were in perfect sync. And yeah...the music. Yuvan is someone who can get really touchy if the director is able to extract work from him and here he does the same. Watch out for this song which is one of the rare melodies in recent times in a haunting Ilayaraja's voice.
Try to watch this movie if possible and you will know what I am talking about.

You are right. There are some good aspects and some are bad. I too had written a review sometime back on the movie:

I read your review. It is quite balanced and critical and as you said soem portions of this movie are definitely as if he wanted to say everything in one shot.
But nevertheless the film sparks in odd places and definitley the film is better than the regular useless fare we get to see :-)
