An apt title - if you ask me. For the thing that the hero Karthi does at the end, one does not have to be a 'great soul' or a 'mahaan'. Why he did what he did is probably justified.
The main story track goes on very vibrantly. Karthi effortlessly essays the role of a happy go lucky hero, who always teases his sister and takes money from his parents! He is from a middle class family. On the side is a dark track, a group of good for nothing, perverted youngsters who habitually molest girls and on one occasion dump the girl after hacking her body into small pieces. As fate would have it, the crooks had used Karthi's father's taxi (he works as a driver in a call taxi company) and he recognises the victims face broadcast on tv. Being a conscientious citizen, he reports to the police that he can identify the culprits. Knowing this, the crooks make an attempt to kill him. Karthi is very shaken by this attempt on his father's life. The miscreants will stop at nothing and this time they take the help of another bigger rowdy and plan and successfully kill his father in broad daylight. This devastates Karthi and inspite of police's repeated requests, he does not proactively volunteer any information/help to catch these criminals. He does not give himself any airs about his 'heroism'. It was quite a refreshing change from the usual rut. According to him, nothing is going to bring back his dad and he thinks these crooks deserve a harsher punishment for their heinous crimes.
He does not plan on going after them to avenge his father's murder but coincidentally he encounters them, that is the end of this story.
Nice movie with the right mixture of romance, comedy, thrill etc.
