I completely agree with this review. I think Simbu's characterization was not good. Whenever he explains his love to her, he stresses that he wants to touch/kiss her and he even does it everytime . He even once says "I wanna make love with you all the time" which completely degrades the value of "love at first sight". Moreover i simply could not digest his expressions for the song "mannipaya". Having listened to the song a 100 times prior to the movie release i had visualized a different picture for this song. But Gautam and Simbu completely messed up with this song. But musically its a great movie.
