I'm not sure if I should feel bad for Kathir for getting bad projects or be pissed off at him for choosing them. The actor can do wonders - as showcased in Pariyerum Perumal - but here he's just another young man with a short fuse. How many of those have we seen in the last 100 years! It doesn't help that he begins to stalk the heroine. It doesn't help that his character is underdeveloped save for a few mannerisms. It doesn't help that almost all the characters are stereotypical.
There's no originality in the film. Take the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time. He's at a bus stand and he gets slapped by the girl who is soon told by her friend that he's not the one who had been harassing her. This meet-cute/slap-cute trick alone has been used in a handful of films in the last decade.
Sarbath just doesn't cut it. Regular Tamil viewers might find it engaging but a seasoned viewer will be scratching his head immediately, knowing the trap that lies ahead.
