Although I am a great fan of Rajni but the movie lacked some thing. Rajini was good, Radhika Apte was good, Dhanshika was good, background music was good, direction was slick for a directors third movie and first with a superstar, the support cast like Dinesh, John Vijay were amazing. Then what is wrong?
Guess the villain was non existent! The build up for Tony Lee character was never fulfilled in the movie. While the director handled the emotional part of the movie well, the action/messiah parts were a major drag!
Superhero needs a supervillain! The reason why Baasha, Padayappa, Sivaji and Enthiran were great was because of the villains! The Mark Antony’s, Neelambari’s, Adi’s and Chitti’s(double whammy as this is superstar himself) is what made the movie even special.
Had only the director spent more time on making the villain character great, it would have definitely great movie!
