Gillie

Chennaionline.com: "The local thug's daughter (as in innumerable films), the local thug's sister (as in 'Run'), and now the local thug's beloved. Naturally, the hero has to go through a rough time, by the time he reaches 'The End'! This film is a faithful remake of the Telugu hit 'Okkadu', only the Charminar has been replaced by the lighthouse here.

Trisha's timid scared act is convincing enough. No attempt has been made to blend the sets with the natural ambience, so a sense of artificiality pervades throughout. It has a racy first-half, caught well by Gopinath's camera. But, ultimately, what stands out is not the racy action scenes but the comedy - many of them unintentional."
