Madhavan who joined the action bandwagon with 'Run,' comes out with another in the same genre in Damini Enterprises' 'Aithirree'. The hero adopting the stunt mode is understandable — his earlier 'Run' had sprinted its way to success. K. S. Ravikumar dons the mantle of screenplay writer-director for 'Aithirree'. Kamalesh Kumar's story is highly imaginative to a large extent. Director Ravikumar could have rectified matters with a skillful screenplay but strangely he doesn't.

Story Subramani (Madhavan) is forced to pose as a goonda and scare the life out of four rebellious students who are tenants on the first floor of Natarajan's (`Delhi' Ganesh) house. But another crisis arises to solve which Subramani unwittingly kidnaps Priya (Sadha), the underworld don's (`Fefsi' Vijayan) daughter. Now her fiancé, a police assistant commissioner, (Raguman) is also gunning for him. The hero's tackling of the two-pronged attack and his annihilation of the enemies that form the rest of the film could have been handled much more crisply.
Music Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is melodious.
Performance Madhavan is convincing, he's worked hard with the right mix of humour, anger, courage and romance. Sadha's expressions show maturity. Kaniha is cute as `Delhi' Ganesh's daughter Gayatri. Vivek is back in action with his typical brand of humour, which is enjoyable for the most part. And matching him in humour is `Delhi' Ganesh — as the ever-suspecting, possessive father he's adorable. Raguman, the erstwhile hero, is a new addition to the list of cinema villains.
