Ravi Teja, Anushka Shetty, starrer telugu movie Vikramarkudu was a blockbuster in 2006. Siruthai, born out of Vikramarkudu is Karthi Sivakumar's first movie, in which he plays a dual role. Catchy one liners from Siruthai is already popular, which is a good indication that the movie will attract people's admiration.

Karthi as Rocket Raja is a fraudster, he along with his partner Kaatu Poochi (Santhanam) outsmart anyone to make a quick buck. Cruising homes, public places, offices and weddings they weave smart tales and escape with valuables and money. Though criminals, the happy- go-lucky duo rely on their smartness over violence. When Rocket and Poochi gate crash into a wedding to steal valuables, they encounter Shwetha (Tamannaah ). Rocket, who had challenged the women in his neighbourhood that he would only date a girl of fair complexion, is smitten by Shwetha.

Rocket and Poochi continue their tricks on people till they encounter a kid, who claims she is Rocket's daughter. Confused Rocket takes the girl home, but is perplexed when some mystery men try to kill him and another group, who try to save him. Rocket senses that there is something grave behind these episodes and believes it might be a case of mistaken identity. As true to his beliefs, the other Karthi is Rathinavel Pandian IPS, a police officer from the neighbouring Andhra state.

Pandian was a sincere and courageous police officer, who had dealt the criminals in his district with an iron hand. He was able to tackle the organised crime in the district, which his colleagues had preferred to ignore. Encouraged by Pandian's courage, his colleagues rally behind him and enforce their authority. The goons, angered by the sudden opposition of the police, try to eliminate Pandian, who survives but is seriously injured. His subordinates fearing for his life hide Pandian in Tamilnadu. Now the goonda Raj in Andhra is again let loose as Pandian is seriosuly injured to fight it. Pandian's subordinates request Rocket Raja to impersonate Pandian and put an end to the goonda raj permanently.

Siva's Siruthai is a full blown entertainer. Karthi as Rocket Raja and Santhanam as Kaatu Poochi let loose a laughing riot. Karthi has overtaken his elder Suriya in playing humour roles. Another memorable role of Santhanam after appearing as Nalla Thambi in Boss Engira Bhaskaran. Santhanam is the best side kick in Kollywood. The movie is fast, engaging and never does it stagnate. Though Kollywood has an abundance of double role movies, director Siva needs an applause for presenting this with a fresh perspective. Karthi excels in his performance as a merry fraudster and a fiery cop. Karthi has carved a niche for himself in Kollywood and there is no looking back for the star. The witty one liners in the movie, will monopolise our vocabulary for quite some time. With Siruthai's songs already a hit, the video songs are a bonus.

And to the negatives. Tamannaah as Shwetha fades away in the movie without much of an importance. The villains are dreaded and fearsome, when they appear against Pandian, but they turn out to be clowns when they fight Rocket Raja. Karthi as a police officer, presents the over used, bashing up action of 50 odd people, without the slightest indication of fatigue. Siruthai will be remembered as one of the most entertaining movies in Kollywood. The movie is Karthi's debut as an A grade actor.
