Performances:
Vimal played his role well and he did justice to his character Sathya. His performance in few scenes must be appreciated as he improved his skills in acting a lot.
Sanusha looked simple and cute. She carried the role with dignity and is the right fit for the role of Selvi.
Singam Puli struggled to create humor. The show stealer is Jaya Prakash as he has gone into the skin of the role.
Mano Bala, M.S Bhasker, Ilavarasu are adequate.
Director Suresh has done a good job.
Taj Noor music is okay and especially a song with lyrics written in reverse is good.
On a whole, the first half of the film is okay while the second half is racy and entertaining.
Quick Take: Eththan is Kalavani- 2
