Screenplay & Direction Shafi

Hari Prasad develops a sort of tug with Seeta (Asin), Rayudu's daughter. But, it later develops into love, after Hari Prasad ties the nuptial knot by force due to certain circumstances. Though Rayudu settles for a deal and agrees to accept his son-in-law, his brother-in-law is against the movie. He enters the scene and tries to put the seed of animosity between Hari Prasad and Pasupathi – the orphan-friends. How they overcome the hurdle and how the story ends on a happy note forms the climax.

Performance

Though Vikram did well, there is a feel that this sort of role is not suitable to him, considering the non-seriousness of the subject and characterization. Pasupathi too displayed nice histrionics. Manivannan's role as a childless dad has some funny shades.

Asin looks deglamorised in parts. She lacks proper footage connected to the story. You can well say she is limited to romance-making and silly tugs with the hero.

Murali's performance in a villainous cast is adequate, while the one who did the villainy in the climax as Murali's brother-in-law has exhibited some freshness in the genre.

Vadivelu's comedy sounds forcible often.

Vijay Kumar appears as a retired government official, who is debt-ridden in the hands of the villain.

Technical Details

First of all the title “Mazaa” does not match the movie. You have no proper story or plot. A remake of Malayalam film (directed by one and the same director) – “Tommanam Makkalam” did evoke a lengthy expectation for this Diwali, but has evaporated suddenly thanks to non-seriousness in the subject. Screenplay is traditional and boring. Direction is flat.

Cinematography by Balasubramanian is average. Interestingly, he won widespread accolades in the industry for his job with the same hero in the film “Sivaputrudu”.

Dialogues are average.

Music by Vidyasagar is not up to the mark. There is no punch in songs as well.

Major drawback is that though it is intended for bilingual release, much prominence is given to Tamil, as some scenes where you have Tamil tinge (like letters or sign boards) are retained. Hence, it clearly gives a feel that it is only a dubbed version.

Stunts department by Vijay is adequate.

Insufficient handling of comedy is another drawback
