The result is a madcap, meta-horror comedy that parodies everything from film criticism to genre clichés.

While many praised its ambitious realm and artistic execution, others found its narrative style less attractive, especially in non-nominees, where the Telugu and Hindi versions were brought only in a minor number.

Tamil occupancy on day 7 was 13.14% less, with less than 14% registration at noon and morning, showing a weak occupancy. Despite a talented actors' contingent and Mani Ratnam's direction, the film's cerebral tone and large-scale elements deficiency have limited its box office legs.

Kamal Haasan led the actors in the lead roles along with Silambarasan, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Jujo George, and Gautham Karthik. With music scored by AR Rahman, cinematography by Ravi K Chandran, and editing by Srikar Prasad, the film has top-level technical cleverness. However, the box office trajectory now depends on its second-weekend performance and foreign reception, as the film reduces interest in domestic cinemas.
