Collections have not been phenomenal but they aren’t a total letdown either. The movie might break even.

This being his debut movie, Naan has Vijay Antony playing around with false identities. Essentially a thriller, the movie works for most parts and is letdown a bit by an unconvincing plot.

Naan is slowly settling into the average league after a lowbrow release it experienced last weekend.

Public Talk :

Vijay Antony needs to majorly work to spruce up his acting abilities.
