Opening to mostly favorable reviews, the film lost steam much earlier than expected and was another failure.His last fantasy action thriller, ‘Karuppu’, was Suriya’s highest grosser of all time.It doesn’t matter how old you are, what you look like, or how many times people have dumped you. Your dream is still valid. It’s never too late.
