Friendship turns into bitter rivalry. The Managing Director falls in a dilemma. He puts forward a solution. Enough time is given to both of them to prove their mettle. The better one would be given the job. They reluctantly take up the challenge.Kunjacko Bohan cuts a sorry figure in the entire drama, as he has nothing to offer than the usual. He struggles throughout to repeat his performance in the super hit film, Niram. Kavya Madhavan looks mature and exuberant. But she has to go a long way to go.

Jagdish and Innocent as television cameramen excel in what they know best - situational comedy, particularly in the second half. Their witty dialogues coupled with characteristic mannerisms come as the only saving grace for the film.Narendraprasad`s character is type cast. He is a painter who is in the way of self-destruction due to excessive drinking. He goes out without making any impact.The director tries to introduce a dramatic turn in the climax. But it fails to click for him, as a climax is predictable in the end of the very first half.
