Saamikannu (Premji), Vinayagam (Jai) and Ramraj ( Vaibhav ) three friends who have never seen the world beyond their small village near Theni. They loot the local temple of its jewellery and set off initially to Madurai where they encounter a long lost friend who got married to a foreigner he met in Goa and is leaving for London!

Our mad caps change their plans and leave for Goa, thinking that they too can fall in love with a white woman and settle abroad! They reach the promised land of beaches and ladies in bikinis and soon get entangled with Jack (Aravind Akash) and Danny (Sampath) two gays who run a resort in Goa. Saami fall hook line and sinker for a white girl (Melanie Marie), Vijay for a night club singer Roshni (Piaa) and Ram for Suhasini (Sneha) a very rich girl who runs a casino.

Director Venkat Prabhu looks for his hatrick after coming up with CHENNAI 60028 and SAROJA which went on to become huge success stories.

However the first production of Ochre Studios, the production house owned by Soundarya Rajnikanth, have already faced its share of controversies. Now with an A rating, it comes to the Tamil screens hoping to keep the Prabhu success story going.

 

THE PANEL ROOM

The film seem to have not lived up to the huge expectations that viewers now have from Venkat Prabhu. The primary reason seem to be ofcourse the lack of story. If the sole purpose was to lampoon a few tamil movies, the other release of the week TAMIZH PADAM seem to have done a better job of it. So does this mean Venky misses out on that hatrick ?

Venkat Prabhu seems to have lost his Midas touch and misses his hat trick! Harmless Fun   Behindwoods  2

The laugh is on us. Venkat Prabhu simply has no story to tell,  SIFY 

what Goa's is all about.-There's practically no story to speak of; it's just every guy's fantasy come true, with babes, beaches and endless bathing. REDIFF  3

Venkat has probably erred here in his assumption that if the film is youthful and joyful, viewers will ignore faux pas. Now running  2
