Debutant directors Pushkar and Gayathri (husband and wife in real life), who appeased the public with trailers of Oram Po, had finally come with the end product. Though the film starts with an interesting note and deals a different subject, the second half, especially climax, happens to be major let down for the movie.
Chandru (Arya) is an auto driver, who also participates in illegal race with the help of his best friend and ace mechanic Bigle (Lal). Meanwhile, Chandru has an love affair with Rani (Pooja), a biriyani seller, who is also the sister of Bigle. Here comes 'Son of Gun' (John Vijay), a mechanic leading the rival gang of Chandru.
One fine day, Chandru loses his auto rickshaw to a local moneylender as he could not pay the loan amount. To bail the auto out, Chandru and Bigle challenge Son of Gun for one more race. Did they succeed in the mission is an interesting riddle.
Arya has a Pattiyal hangover. Though he tries to steal the scene. Pooja simply fits to the role of a roadside seller. Lal is at his usual best. Howeve, the one who hogs limelight is John Vijay, who dons the role of Son of Gun.
The film lacks a proper script and the production values are low in the climax. Song picturisation too is very basic. However, GV Prakash’s music rescues Oram Po to a large extent. Sadly, there is no cinematographer Nirav Shah’s touch, except in the climax auto race.
