Ezhil has a penchant for village-set comic entertainers and his expertise lies in utilising comedians. After Velainu Vandhutta Vellaikaaran, his last outing, which had quite a few rib-tickling moments, his latest offering, Saravanan Irukka Bayamaen, again features some of his favourite artistes. But the film struggles hard to live up to the expectations created by the previous film. With a bevy of actors in almost every frame, and all of them mouthing ineffective punches and one-liners repetitively, the audience really has a tough time sitting through this film till the end. One positive aspect of the film, apart from a handful of funny scenes, is its duration of 125 minutes.
