'Pilla Zamindar' starts off well with some breezy comedy sequences and takes off in the middle of the first half. The first half is a racy entertainer which is enjoyable but in the second half the film treads in a totally different path with a lot of forced sentimental sequences.
Director Ashok G. has tried to provide balance by focusing on comedy elements in the first half and excessive.

From the ancient times of Tamil Cinema, films based on ‘Treasure Hunts’ have been one such genre that is liked by everyone as the story will have lots of twists and turns. Be it the very old ‘Pudhaiyal’ and the other film with the same title starring Mammooty and Aravind Swamy in lead roles, they were really interesting as it involved fun, frolic, adventure, romance and action as well.
‘Kola Kolaya Mundhrika’ is one such film that has ‘treasure hunt’ as its central concept and yet looses out the track with a flimsy screenplay. But the interesting part with the film is that it has lots of characterizations laced with funny elements.
