'Success' launches Junior Sivaji (Dushyanth) grandson of Sivaji Ganesan into the world of Kollywood. His debut with grandpa, veteran actor Sivaji Ganesan's enormous image weighing down on his shoulders. Naturally the expectation about Esakki Creations' "Success" and its hero is high. This is Suresh Prasanna's first film as screenplay writer and director.

Coming to story, Ganesh (Dushyanth) is brought up by his sister Radhika, who sacrifices marriage for the brother's sake. The brother is equally caring. So when she is humiliated by his friend Swetha (Sonia Agarwal) and her parents it leads to an unexpected twist — but one that is not backed by any rationale as Ganesh seeks revenge in a very quixotic way. It is Radhika who is to be faulted for her assumptions and haste. And why could Y. Gee. Mahendra's family not have been more discreet about the fate of their daughter Maha (Nandana)? Tom-toming the trauma to the entire world only shows them in poor light.

Dushyanth is impressive in stunts and reasonably appealing in dance but has to work more on emoting expressions. Sonia Agarwal looks cute. She has a small role. Nandana's is a powerful role in which she acquits herself quite well. Urvasi is slowly turning into a comedienne to reckon with and if that's her forte, why not? In typical Brahmin lingo she evokes a laugh or two. And when she forgets it and strays into the common dialect in the climax, it becomes another kind of comedy. To sum up 'Success' is not the right film for Jr Ganesan to be successful.
