Directed by Ezhil, who made films like Thullatha Manamum Thullum, Poovellam Un Vasam and Deepavali, is back after a break, to render an engrossing entertainer.

The movie is more a fusion of romance and comedy. A stupid act by friends, lands a few in trouble. How they overcome it forms the crux.
Manam Koththi Paravai is about romance and friendship et al.

Music is scored by D Imman while cinematography is by Suraj Nallusamy. Besides Siva Karthikeyan, the movie has Athmiya,. Parotta Suri, Singam Puli, Ilavarasu, Ravi Mariya, Srinath, Chaams among others.

Singam Puli, Parota Suri, Srinath, Vennira Aadi Murthy, Ravi Mariya, Vanitha among others play their part well.

Imman's songs especially Po Po Po and Oorana Oorukulae deserve a special mention. Suraj Nallusamy's camera captures secenes well.

Ezhil's strength lies in strong story blended with humour. So is Manam Koththi Paravai. It may give one a feel of deja vu at places, but all is well and that ends well.
