Direction: Radha Bharathy
Music: Bharani
 It's
yet another movie starring Jai Akash --- almost the third in
as many months. He has combined with Pranathi once again
after Gurudeva. Radha Bharathy, who directed Vaigasi
Porandachu starring Prashanth about a decade ago, has wielded
the megaphone for Katrullavarai.
The time spent away from films seems to have rusted Radha
Bharathy's abilities. The film's story is trite and the
treatment is very banal.
It is the story of an actress Narmadha (Pranathy) who is
caught between her car driver Bala (Jai Akash) and an ardent
fan Burma Bala (Suresh).
The car driver is a mentor of sorts for her. Narmada hates
Bala, but her father (Rajesh) insists on Bala staying in the
house.
The rest of the story is told in a flashback where everything
is explained including Bala's stammering and Narmada's
'selective amnesia'.
The story has good potential. But, unfortunately, incoherent
screenplay lets down the movie.
Jai Akash looks dull and weak while Pranathy lacks any screen
presence. The newcomer Suresh does nothing to impress the
audience. Vadivelu's comedy too doesn't work.
Bharani has come up with a couple of good tunes.
But nothing can save the movie as the director seems to have
shot himself in the foot.
