 Performance

 With this film, debut actor Vinay Krishna from Andra Pradesh makes his debut in Tamil Cinema. The actor exhibits perfection in all the sequences and is more apt  for playing action hero. On the other hand, Hasika has as well done a good job in playing as the silent romantic girl as well as the terrific ghost. The actress indeed gets a good round of applause for her dialogues in the ghost-Hasika sequences.

 Apart from the lead actors, the supporting roles have also done a great job. Actors like Senrayan, Lollu Sabha Jeeva, Munis Raja fom Nadhaswaram fame and Subburaj have really added their best to the humour quotients. It is worth mentioning that Senrayan, Dindigul Saravanan and Subburaj have done an exceptional performance. 

  Plus

 Music of Umesh is quite pleasing and Cinematography is indeed very colourful. As an added bonus, debut filmmaker Veera has kept the film simple. The screenplay keeps the film quite interesting and the second half makes the film even more entertaining.

 Minus

 Well the background score could have been even more better during the thriller sequences and Cinematography of Karthik Nallamuthu offers nothing new. 

 To cap it all, 1 Pandhu 4 Run 1 Wicket is filled with thriller, suspense and entertainment that keeps the audience very engaged.
