There is also a fat joke but on Simbu himself. Manmadhan theme at a certain point, perhaps, to massage the late coming fans - but, at the same time, it seems to acknowledge the political incorrectness of that film in the said scene where Seethalakshmi (Kalyani Priyadarshan) suspects Khaaliq of a creepy stalker. But to get to the main ‘plot’, you will have to cross the bridge of fanservice, which, too, gets an updated treatment here. These are smartly-written and wonderfully put together by editor Praveen KL it is as much a writer’s film as it is editor’s. Caught amidst a political campaign in which the Chief Minister gets assassinated, Khaaliq has two options: either live with the weight of reality or die. Storyline: Abdul Khaaliq is trapped in a time loop where the events repeat themselves.Cast: Simbu, SJ Suryah, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Premgi Amaran, SA Chandrasekhar and YG Mahendra.And the chewable bit for the audience is the lived experience of having sat through the sequences again and again like a merry-go-round but one manned by someone who seems to know the machine in and out. The fun you derive pleasure from the hero Abdul Khaaliq’s (Silambarasan) frustration of being caught in a time-loop, where events go round and characters talk in circles. In another film, this probability would have been a worrying factor and probably absurd too. Even if we were to go by that logic, the probability of killing the Chief Minister in the first shot is a one in a hundredth scenario. Let’s assume that the civilian is an unwilling participant and all of this is orchestrated with careful precision by a third party of superior force. He kills the CM in a single shot from what appears to be a distance of at least 100 metres from the podium. This is what happens: amidst a sea of party cadres, a civilian takes the gun from his shoulder bag and pulls the trigger, aimed at the Chief Minister of the State. Maanaadu, the first plot point arrives at the half-hour mark.
