About this movie

A scientist Arya of the future invents a time machine and to prove its capability sends it back in time to 2015. However, the machine is seen by three persons in the past - Elango (Vishnu Vishal (actor)), a young man who is finding it hard to catch a break, his friend Pulivetti Arumugam (Karunakaran) a pretend astrologer, and Giridhara Parthasarathy (T. M. Karthik) an inventor. The three are involved in a minor accident and they witness the time machine appearing out of thin air while they are recovering from the shock. While Parthasarathy plans to keep it to himself, he ends up in a coma and Elango and Arumugam use the machine to further the latter's astrology business. They make money out of it. However, during one such excursion into the past, they mess up things which involves Elango's girlfriend Anu (Mia George). Soon, things begin to spiral out of control and their lives become living hell.

Ratings and reviews

A time travel movie which introduces the time travel machine but then spends forty minutes setting up the storyline which could easily have been condensed in to half that time. Then it becomes quite fun as our heroes decide to use the machine to run a company that can find anything that's been lost, but they accidentally end up changing the past and a gangster who originally died survives and now threatens the lives of everyone they love. There's about an hour of a really fantastic movie here, but also an hour of a mildly intriguing one, and twenty minutes of a slightly naff film, all of which adds up to a film I don't regret watching but wouldn't really recommend unless you're a huge fan of the genre.
