2 years in the making..susi ganesan calling the shots with best technicians and a formidable cast at his disposal..u expect nothin’ less than a sizzler.. alas, all u get is variety meal with few specialities..
story - the story of every shankar movie - a vigilante against a social evil ( black money - a la’ sivaji )
screenplay - very episodic and really no depth in it. a few subplots are very superficial.the graph of the film is very sinusoidal, you doze off for a few minutes and the next few u are treated to some crisp photography..
cinematography - stunning to say the least.. not perfect though .is shoddy at places..but works very well over all.cast - VIKRAM looks awesome doesn’t look like a dad one bit..be it the glares or suits . even the lady avatar donned by him is to applauded..however , chiyaan doesn’t have too much to perform..but holds himself well.
SHREYA is ok.. exposes her anatomy and shares a good chemistry with chiyaan..the support cast - Prabhu plays to the gallery, Vadivelu is good.cliche’s like aashish vidyarti and other villans could’ve been avoided..
Music - average .. excuse me mr. kandhasamy *and *meow meow are easy to the ears..
special mention for background music..
direction - susi is not in form this time.. had the best in the business with him for this venture but unfortunately has missed a trick or two..he hasn’t tightened tscreen play .. perhaps he was too mesmerised by the entire filmin’ decided to keep it in the final cut..the songs serve as speed breakers and could have done away with atleast 2 songs..
on the whole , falls short of expectations.. die hard vikram fans go catch it.. and for the rest of u.. wait for it to be telecaste
