A kuruvi's eye view...

It was just before 6.30 P.M. , a serene ambiance was being filled with white noise. The people were occupying the seats calmly as if they have come to attend church. I was chatting with my friend. The clamour from xenon DTS signaled the start.

The hero was introduced in a car race. The car was cruelly battered so that only a hero could drive it and win the race. The following intro song sounded corresponding to a win in bullock-cart race. Even the dance steps didn't match with the beats.

Then, just to show some colours, director had driven to malaysia. There, hero fought with villain for his Rs. 50 L. As the villain refused, Vijay had to steal a diamond from villain, Suman. Then the Trisha and Vijay were meeting gracefully. The romantic scenes were very less , may be to maintain the action movie brand.

The comedy part devised in the transit of diamond from malaysia to chennai is not a new one. Vivek's comedy didn't add any strength to the movie.

Then the villain came to chennai in search of diamond and his daughter. Then, Villain locked up Vijay inside a lift at above 150 feet and fed to gravity. Miraculously, Vijay entered the ground water region and upraised from a river, nearby. Then he took revenge on the villain and trying to save his dad and some people from the thralldom of Suman.

The manirathnam lighting style was improperly used throughout the second-half :-). I couldn't even see the faces.

Melody number, "Then.. Then.. Then.. " was pleasing. I liked all hues of the song especially location, costume, vijay's attitude. Further "Ideal flow" Shreya ghoshal and enjoyable Tamil pronunciation (though not correct!) of Uditnarayan were pretty good. "Pallanadhu.. Pallanadhu.." song was equally good and enjoyable.

Repeated fight and chasing sequences reminded us Dharani. In movies, it is casual that a hero falling from the top of a 10 floor building and not getting any injuries. similarly, Vijay crossing a distance of about 200m in a fly, is not a big deal.

I liked vijay's attitude and expressions. I can say, Vijay & Trisha were not used properly in this movie. Additionally, the negative aspects like music, song sequence and editing have placed the movie to a poor rating. And Vijay has to be very careful in future. Hopefully, Vijay will be back with a bang.
