The events weaved around the car shows us the importance of the vehicle in the story. We get to understand each character inside out because of the car and the role it plays in their lives. For instance, the car is just a luxury for the Panniyar's daughter, but for Pannaiyar, his wife and Murugesan, it is an important part of their lives. For the little boy, who saves up Rs. 5 for a ride in the front seat of the car, it's about never giving up on dreams.
With tighter editing, the film would have undoubtedly appealed to all sections of the audience. The romance between Vijay and Iyshwarya appears included to please the hero image of the former since every hero needs a heroine in Tamil cinema. It could have been trimmed by good 15-20 minutes, but that doesn't change the fact that it's one of the highly entertaining films of the year so far. Thankfully, the constant use of humour born out of the character played by Bala, keeps audiences entertained throughout.
