He gets into trouble when he finally requests money to go home, only for the gang to realise that he isn’t a techie and Tidel Park refers to him getting ‘tight’ and crashing at parks. When Thirukumaran (Dhanush) laments about his miserable life to his friends in a bar, Mayilsamy pesters Thiru and his friends for a free cigarette and drinks. The final scene, where Narain recalls how he was scammed into believing that instead of the famous laddoo, Tirupati Devasthanam has now begun distributing jalebis, makes for a hilarious sequence. The sequence is famous for its “ naanga yen da nadusamathula sudukatuku poganum” line which has become one of many Tamil comedy dialogues that have eased its way into many of our everyday vocabularies. In this film which is more famous for its comedy scenes than the otherwise good vs evil plot, the late actor-comedian Vivekh plays Kalyanaraman who makes a living by conning. Mayilsamy getting flabbergasted by Vivekh’s answer to why cows in India go ‘ma’ but the ones in the UK don’t moo as ‘mummy’, followed by Vivek thinking that the UK is a cuss-word, makes for one hilarious sequence.
