Summary: An unsuccessful comedy loosely inspired by
George Roy Hill’s Butch Cassidy and the
Sundance Kid (1969) telling of two petty
village thieves, Azhagu (Prashant) and Kadir
(Anand), who rescue Rajathi (Heera) from
suicide and fall in love with her, as she does
with them. On a train, the two thieves steal a
woman’s handbag which contains a computer
card giving access to a case of freshly printed
banknotes which also gets stolen. The petty
thieves become involved in endless chases
while their triangular love story remains
unresolved. Made as a big-budget spectacular,
the film consciously attempts to move out of
the terrain of regional politics as seen in the
director’s better known, and notorious, hits
Roja (1992) and Bombay (1995).
