Walter Phillips who has debute with the movie has performed well. He has managed to bring out the essence of his character. Isha Talwar, is a darling to watch. She has acted in few movie and has done her part with ease. She has set into the character as she reprized the role from the original. Manoj K Jayan as SI has done an impressive work. He comes throughout the flick and has a meaty portion to play. Singa Muthu's online are nice and catchy. Nasser totally wasted in the movie, there is much scope for him. Thalaivasal Vijay who plays Isha's father gives a stunning performance in the climax. His impressive dialogue delivery and acting are par excellence. The movie is a normal attempt by Mithran Jawahar and the flick is not satisfied fully.
