Avvai Shanmugi is "Inspired" by Mrs. Doubtfire, a Robin Williams' movie. But nevertheless, it's a Kamal movie and I had to watch it. And it certainly didn't disappoint me, the inspiration part ends with Kamal in a disguise as an Iyer governess for his own daughter. Rest of the movie has Kamal's own brand of acting. And being a Tamil brahmin, I could not point out even one part where Kamal had missed out on a detail in his disguise as a "mami" whether it was his language, his mannerism or his dress.
Watch out for Nasser who pretends to be a mute cook, is out and out hilarious. And so was Gemini Ganeshan. It was such a treat to see this veteran actor after so many years. This must have been one of the last movies of his we got see. Wish I could say a bit about Meena but can't. Two thespians and Nasser overshadow the lady, so can't blame her.
