Ponram's DSP, however, makes you want to take out your phone and read work emails. Instead of hair-rising moments, the action sequences evoke the lethargy of a lazy Sunday afternoon. DSP is a film that heads right into the land of clichés, delivering neither kicks nor laughs as promised.

After a stoic detour from Doctor, Sivakarthikeyan is back laughing and crying, singing and dancing, but he still cannot salvage Don's humdrum affair. The screenplay does not care much about the things the film wants to talk about, and all these supporting elements fail to salvage a screenplay with a weak plot.

Despite the sudden shift in tone, Dulquer and Aditi's performances make us empathise with their characters. The film, which marks the debut of choreographer Brinda as a director, suffers from a tonal inconsistency. The resolution of this conflict is unsatisfactory as well.

Vikram is fantastic as Gandhi Mahaan, transitioning effortlessly from a timid school teacher to a gun-wielding alcohol baron. However, one of the problems with Mahaan is that it does not quite hit you as it should, and in its last hour the film tries to do too many things, getting a bit excessive despite its admirable ambition.
