Director Shakthi Chidambaram is known for his works in comedy and watching `Vyabari' one feels he could have stuck to what he is best at.
Suriya Prakash, a business magnate neglects family and everything else in his chase for money.
Prakash comes across Savithri (Thamanna). Impressed with her intelligence, he offers her a job in his company at a high salary. Instead of accepting the offer, she says she would rather marry him. Quickly calculating profit and loss Prakash agrees to the proposal and they marry.
It is not bliss for the new bride, who hardly gets to see her busy husband. Unable to cope with the demands of a married life, Prakash is desperate for a solution when he meets Dr. Stephen Raj, expert in cloning.
Another Surya Prakash is ready and the clone's mission is to teach the original a few things about life and unite him with his family. The concept is interesting but not the narration.
S.J.Suryah seems to be slowly improving in acting but at times he is very loud. Prakash Raj is dignified but not very useful to the main story.
Vadivelu, after a lean run, finds his touch. Santhanam as usual is bright and tags along with the hero.
Both Namitha and Malavika, appearing with their original names, offer little in terms of histrionics. Seetha, however, shines as Surya's mother.
Not one among the five songs tuned by Deva is catchy and the same can be said about his re-recording. M.V.Paneerselvam follows the proceedings well with his camera. Dialogue is the strong point of the director and he should have concentrated more on the screenplay to make it riveting.
