Yogi Babu will be seen as the hero's side kick. KS Ravikumar, Kavita Radheshyam and a host of other actors are part of the cast.

Story:
Comali is a comedy-satire which revolves around Ravi (Jayam Ravi), who is in the state of coma for 16 years. In the last two decades, the country has witnessed massive changes in the lifestyles and value system. The movie tries to showcase how a man who went into a prolonged state of unconsciousness before this revolution reacts to the present reality. The story, laced with humour, tries to carry an important message to the society.
Reviews:
Comali has opened to positive reviews from the critics and cine-goers. Jayam Ravi's school-day avatar for which he lost 18 kilograms has been appreciated by the viewers. Check out the viewers' response to the flick below:
KollyEmpire : #Comali | Interval | Decent and entertaining so far thanks to Jayam Ravi who is so good both as the young boy and the coma survivor. Last twenty minutes looked very much staged and artificial compared to the initial feel. Nice interval block. Yogi Babu & comedies working well!
Bharan: #Comali - Fun & Emotional Drama.. 90s memories, Chennai Flood, current generation,.. Etc Ella recall panirukanga.. Overall ah bore adikama pothu..Watchable movie..

Sidhu: #Comali: The film nicely reminds us of the things we grew up with during our childhood through the props, dialogues and such. I just wish it had left the sleazy part of the comedy in the past too, it was a major turnoff and could have been avoided easily.
#Comali: After a long time, a fully fulfilling show from #YogiBabu. His role is more like a second hero, tagging along with
@actor_jayamravi all the way. The good part is that his one-liners work right until the end, the body-shaming jokes take a back seat too!
#Comali: Comic joyride. A chilled out entertainer that keeps the laughs coming constantly. Led by a superb performance from

@hiphoptamizha
Review Ram: #Comali is both visually and verbally unfit to be a clean 'U' certificate film. Intentions of the humour are cheap at parts. #CensorBoard - HOW could you do this nonsense every time and again♀️
Haricharan Pudipeddi: #Comali, which borrows its basic premise from Kickin' It Old School, is a decent entertainer that has Yogi Babu in terrific form and a fine
@actor_jayamravi in a fun role. Could've been a lot funnier.
Ranjith: Saw #Comali @RohiniSilverScr
!! Semma padam by @pradeeponelife spl mention to the climax
@actor_jayamravi n his choice of movies to be appreciated Thalapathy references theatre erupts @THM_Off
CB: #Comali is a watchable flick though it turns to be a bit dramatic in the end. Comedy works in parts & Jayaram Ravi's Single shot scene in the second half is good.
