Production

The film gained media attention prior to release, owing to the lead actor Gajesh's debut. He is the son of actor-dancer Anand Babu and grandson of comedian Nagesh.[2] Following the appearance of late actor Nagesh's animation in Kochadaiiyaan (2014), the director insisted on having a sequence in his film, where all three generations of the family appear in one scene through computer imagery.[3] The film was shot mainly in Tamil Nadu, in places such as Tiruchi and Kanyakumari.[4]

Release

The film had a limited release across Tamil Nadu on 31 October 2014, owing to the presence of bigger budget films at the box office. It opened to mixed reviews with a critics noting the film "gets stuck towards average." Another reviewer noted that the film had a dated feel and called it "excruciatingly long".[5]

gollark: It's a shame he was insane, really.

gollark: Like the way everything is rich text with hyperlinks, images, 3D models, sort of thing.

gollark: TempleOS does do some *extremely* cool things which cannot be implemented in other OSes without reworking everything ever.

gollark: `(bee, apiobee) -> apioform` in a less cool language?
