NEEK Review On X

Also impressed with Dhanush’s free-flowing comic punchlines sprinkled throughout the film.”

Dhanush keeps it easy and doesn’t attempt to complicate things together with his lighthearted narration. Mathew Thomas is terrific together with his one-liners and is definitely the group’s favorite. Pavish does an honest job because the lead. GV’s background rating plays a key part.”
