Mollywood has made movies on gifted young children earlier and they have become a great success with the audience. Ilayaraja is no different from them, as it is about child epitome, struggles of trying to fit into the society and the roles of parents who try to encourage their kids' development could be seen. It is a feel-good tale with noble intentions. It is meant to cater to family crowds.
