How many cop stories have you guys witnessed over the past two decades? Be it MGR's Ragasiya Police 100, Sivaji Ganesan's Thanga Padhakkam, Rajni's Moodru Mugam, Kamal's Vettayadu Viladu, Captain's movies, Vikram's Saami or Surya's Kakka Kakka. All the efforts and money put in these movies went in vain [:(] The MAN has arrived and has given us a benchmark COP story movie which has vanished the all time greatest cop story movies ever produced.
PLOT : A family is kidnapped and two persons try to save the family from the kidnappers.
Can you imagine how can a movie be made with this simple plot? The director has given us a racy entertainer. The movie begins with BANG. A covered cop fighting against goondas, later his face was revealed. Entire arena were astonished to their MAN, such an electrifying power he has got, where he can pull any big crowd with his look. Is this what we call SCREEN PRESENCE??? Later a couple elops from a marriage and decides to get married, where the guy ( Ramana ) receives a call from Sangeetha, who has been kidnapped. Initially he refuses to help her, but later she somehow convinces him to help her, so he decides to goto the police station to meet the INSPECTOR.
Yes, Yes, Yes. I searched my entire database to refer to any movie released world wide, if it has got such a MASS scene. When INSPECTOR was shown, OUR MAN, JKR, he actually sits on a guy, and guess what, he makes the guy to be a OONJAL and he sits on him and delivers a punch. Oh man, I felt the mass. But I person who has dubbed for the Superstar has done his job perfect. The voice matches his caliber and could maintain his professionalism. So, our inspector listens to Sangeetha, but was in serious confusion whether to believe it or not.
So the movies get going with scenes between Ramana and his girl friend and conversation with Sangeetha over the phone to help her. They meet various obstacles by various intruders, but they could able to manage whomsoever comes in their path. But these scenes were really annoying as the SCREEN PRESENCE NAYAGAN is not shown. The mass fans were eagerly waiting for this scenes, where he does something or the other to tighten the seat belts. All of a sudden, JKR's dad, shows JKR a snap. Check out this conversation. "Indha photo va paarupa, annikku nee edhukku vendaammnu sonnenna theriyala, aana inniku nee oru periya Inspector, ippa vaadhu sollupa". See how he makes the spectators so curious. Spectators went mad to see the photo, later it was a snap of a girl. And could you guys guess what did our MASS man replied. He just kept quiet and gave us a cute, heart throbing smile. A dream sequence song.
I can take an open bet, never ever in the Indian, why World Cinema history, such a fast number song has come for a duet sequence. And the dance, Oh man, Micheal Jackson will feel jealous. Ultra sexy costumes,perfection to the core in the steps, class steps, brilliant turn, hi fi smile, Eco Chemistry, Sensational Music and apt innovative lyrics. I seriously don't really remember after which scene the interval came. It was such a racy pack entertainer.
The way he riddles the clue has been handed well by the Super Hero. Especially the scenes where he suspects the Doctor Sandhya. He sends a few people asking for the doctor to help a patient, where the duplicate doctor has to succumb to Guru (JKR) intelligence behind the scene. Such a crime thrilling ride. The main highlight of the movie is the climax, which if revealed, will be the greatest mistake I have ever done. So, I am not going to reveal the climax, but just a scene, where he shoots the Villian. Can Matrix people come near to the Encounter Specialist GURU? He triggers the bullet, when he is flying (jumping) upside down and more importantly villian is behind him, so he has to bend and shoot him. And these cheap stunts are a Cake walk for the Master blaster, he triggers, such that the bullet, passes to the glasses of the aquarium, rubs the shoulder of the other hero (Ramana) and at last lands in the chest of the villian. After watching this breath taking stunt (for us), almost everyone inside the arena are dumbstruck. I am sure this man can do any number of action packed chasing adventures. Once everything is over, the reporters thronged the place to ask questions to the Encounter Specialist, where one of the question is " Eppovume police latea dhaana varuvaanga, neenga mattum eppadi sir?", JKR's response, [;)] watch the movie.
Verdict : A perfect racy entertainer. A MEGA mass film for JKR fans across the globe.

Subramaniyapuram
Yet another Henchmen story, but promising. The plot resembles Pattiyal and glimpses of Paruthiveeran. But the director has done a fantastic job in the making. Amazing visual sense and natural look.
The movie starts with a murder with dark light and hidden faces and then shifts to 1980s. I bet if someone can ever find a fault or bloopers proving it's not 1980. Stunning job from the debutant Art Director Rembon. Be it the look with groovy hair style, the beard style, the houses at 80s, the radio talking about MG Ramachandran, the buses, the cycle rickshaws, the auto, the currency notes, the talkies. What not? I couldn't find a slightest resemblance of the current year. But, the style of light effects, the way the camera was handled and the street houses reminds me of a few Iranian movie formula making. But nothing wrong.
Talking about the performances in the movie, Jai, Sasikumar, Kanja Karuppu, the disabled friends, Ex Counsellor & Co, etc, satisfied the audience. The leads, Jai, Sasi Kumar and Kanja Karuppu all were treated equally. They did their job 101%. The heroine is cute and homely, a typical 80s girl. Though often their love exchange in the beginning were only by exchanging the looks, Ilayaraja's tune made it look pleasant.
Kadhir has done a great job in handling the camera. It's basically people's eye photography, often used in many Iranian and Spanish movies. The chasing scenes is where you can find his incredible work. Pleasant to watch.
Music by James Vasanthan, I came to know it's James Vasanthan only after the title display. We just missed one good music director. Kangal Thirandhal made to humm the song. Well BGM, was adaptable for the movie. Actually there is very less BGM and often silence is wonderfully utilized as a BGM. Appreciable and pleasant to hear.
Editing is neat and smooth. The connectivity was evidently handled and no mistakes paving way for the critics to blame the art director.
Coming to the most commendable credits, Story, Screenplay, Dialogue and Direction, Sasi Kumar. This guy has got a bright future. The dialogues were noteworthy. Especially when the leads were asked why they murdered a big shot, the leads respond, "Pazhakathukkaaga", amazing thought and style. I also liked the characters names, connecting the typical names in Madurai. Mentioning all these technical aspects, the direction speaks itself.
But the movie was certified "A". Agree, for a few violence involved scenes, it creates a group viewers to watch the movie. A few scenes were really fearsome to watch.
I dont worry whether this movie will become a HIT, or do a good show at BO. If you are a tamil cinema fan, watching this movie is worth your penny.
Verdict : Must Watch!

Ayudham Seivom - For Peace
Yet another story preaching Ahimsa. Sundar C following the same trend after the success of Thalainagaram, Veerappu and Sandai. Same get up, same character...WTF? Can he change?
Plot was already given. I am not gonna touch that. Moving to the characters Anjali, the Tamil MA fame, god damn, why did she start to expose. She aint looking good though! But she got a super dad. No match for the character The director has to seriously concentrate on this--
Vivek - Ultra duper Traffic Police, often director makes us remember that he is a police. He just keep irritating man. I lost the taste with his humour.
Other charactes include Napolean, Nazar, Manivannan...etc., They did for they paid for. No big surprise.
Music : Ok Ok kinda music, nothing great or better even. But the song sequences were irritating esp the duet numbers. Thanks to the director he didnt put a duet in the climax.
The plot was good, but you need seriousation with supporting incidents to stress or promote the plot.
Hero and others quickly changes to Ahimsa. The director seriously worked the climax to stun the audience, just like Pudhiya Geethai and Tamizhan but quite surprisingly EVERYONE (21) in the theatre were laughing.
Verdict : Ayudham Seivom....Inimelaavadhu Nalla Padam Seivom

Vallamai Thaaraayo - Yes! the audience def need one...
Plot : Newly married couple, where the bride was forced to marry, is not interested in the married life as she loves her childhood Maapilai and hence want to apply for divorce. They get divorced. Whether did they unite again or not? Thats the climax.
Dont tell me this plot is something similar to Mouna Raagam, its kinda. Had enought of it. The movie starts off with a dull pace. Poor lip sync in the beginning, dull BGM, pausing dialogue. I was seriously wondering if at all the movie kicks off. Came Parthiban. Surprisingly, Parthiban, well known for this mono dry humour, didnt work out in this film. I feel this role is not his piece of cake. Come on, He is Parthiban, give him roles in which he excels, not the roles of a supporting actor.
Chaya Singh...ah Jesus, she was almost 101% occupied in the screen. Better she sticks to a single item number in future.
Karunas handled the humour part. IT WAS ONE HELL OF A CORE. You got to have senses. How a person in earth would love those so called comedy. A very bad choice indeed.
Another person who irritates is Anand Raj. Whenever he comes, he used this punch "Naan Sandhoshama irundha adhigama pesuven, kovama irundha kammiya pesuvean". Audience endha alavukku kovam aavaangannu theriyumaa
In general, most of the characters in this movie has over acted.
One song is good, rest were Beedi. Nothing to talk about Photography or editing...they are just OK.
Dialogues : Very bad, I mean, not the actual dialogue, I had a feeling that there is a long pause often in rendering dialogue. Did they forgot or what?
Last 15 mins, Parthiban took over the control, the movie was kinda interesting with his slapstic comedy.
Verdict : Save your pocket money : Engalukku ellam Vallamai Thaarayoo

Dasavatharam - Another usual avathar
Plot : Butterfly effect. I am surprised to see a few who have discovered this butterfly effect. The story begins with Kamal's speech, where he mentions about the butterfly effect. I don't know how many noticed that. But yes, a layman will be not be able to understand this concept when it's not clearly defined.
Need to talk about Kamal. Master, a true Master, is what I would like to define. I am not surprised with the variation that Kamal portrayed in each and every character. The uniqueness, voice modulation, style and body language that was exhibited by Kamal, its just mindblowing. But I am not surprised as it comes so easy for the Master. Ofcourse he didnt disappoint us and will not in future.
I cant talk about the other cast involved in this movie as it was a clean sweap by the Master himself. Ofcourse, Asin, Mallika, MS Bhaskar, Nagesh, etc., are there. But Kamal stands tall before them, not only the 7 feet kamal rest 9 too . But MS Bhaskar's slang is simple superb. I read a few others review mentioning that the other cast could have utilized more, but when Master himself has occupied the arena, where is the place for the others to play the game.
Direction, KSR. Often we get reminded that he is the director. Again, Kamal has occupied in this place as well. But I guess he has handled well and I didnt find any KSR touch in this movie at all except for a few scenes where P Vasu will ask Pooraraghavan "Nee enna Ulaga Nayagana?" KSR touch.. You can feel there.
Screenplay is just ok in this movie. I wouldnt use the term racy screenplay. Its just good enough to keep you going. But the connectivity is not that great in the movie. It often lacks in coordination between scenes.
Something to talk about the dialogues, I am quite surprised and checked again if the dialogues were written by Kamal. Bcoz, I smell Crazy often when it comes to humour. Nothing to doubt as Crazy was almost a co companion in all Kamal's movie. I liked a few dialogues be it humour or serious conversation.
Cinematography is nothing great in the movie. I felt the stunt sequences were not shot well. Especially the bike chasing sequence was horribly shot. Moreover, its a big cast and massive sets. Its quite tough to shoot them. He could have opted someone else, my opinion though.
Songs were actually to good to see it in the big screen though not good to hear. BGM wasn't extra ordinary. May be as SRI said, we got to think about the time given to him. Both music and BGM should have handled by someone special. Wonder why he opted for HR.
The main part, Make up. 10 roles, out of which 8 roles with make up. Out of 8, 2 shined brilliantly well. Who are the two? Naidu and Vincent Pooraraghavan. It just fits them like a glove. Others YUCK. When they spend a huge amount why cant they bring in PRO in make up which is the most important aspect in this film. Kamal should seriously think about this. I loved Avvai Shanmugi's make up more than this movie. Even Indian was good.
Art is also just ok in this movie. But why didnt he explore the world. World is big, use it. To talk about the visual effects, Beginning and End were the areas where it was widely used. But still, not satisfying. A small boy sitting next to me was able to identify the graphics in the opening scene where Kamal was dumped into the ocean.
I do not bother about the collection or BO status, all I need is satisfaction. I am not completely satisfied with the movie. But no question of MISS, Watch it.

Captain's Arasaangam - An Unusual Story
FDFS at Ambattur Vel Murugan. Grand Opening, I mean the theatre. Yes, the theatre was opened today and it has screened the movie of the millenium. We were present at the theatre 45 mins earlier. Good that we went earlier that we were able to see the ATTAGAASAM by Captain's fans. They have covered the entire theatre by Stars and banners. It's just a 500 seat theatre and it was housefull with 98% occupied by his Political fans.
We went inside the theatre and to our surprise, there was a laser show. Got thrilled and couldnt wait for the opening scene. And there it is. Captain Cine Creation's Arasaangam - An Unusual Story. Thats how the tag goes. The movies starts off in a narrative style where the director himself narrating, not the story, just a back ground voice. "Indha sandhosham nilaikkuma" no one knows why was it told. But it will be revealed only in the climax. Here, it shows the tactics of the director who has made a compulsion to make the audience sit and watch till the END. Wow, you are the man, Madhesh. So then, the movie kicks off, showing some unusual elemental scenes, where a middle class family, the housewife prepares lunch for her son who is going to college. The son is picturized as a fruit fellow but once he steps out of his house, he changes to a modern man with trendy outfit instead of Striped shirt and formal pant. Everyone in the theater was clueless thinking that he is cheating his parents. But when the same guy was shown in an assisination, where he murders a scientist. Everyone was shocked and the scene was edge of the seat thriller. Its just doesnt end there. Another incident showing a poor girl shooting another well known personality in a temple, makes everyone stand still.
Why are they doing this? Who is behind them? What's their motive? Yes, these questions were asked and discussed in the Home Minister's office with all the Police Dept Head. There, the chief officer in Police, tells the Home Minister - "Indha maari velaigala laam kandu pidikanummna, adhukku ore oru aalaala dhaan mudiyum" Whistle blowing every where inside the theatre, the officer continues, " Avaru Mumbaila irukaaru, avar dhaan Manoj, Anti terrorism force officer" But it was a big disappointment that its not Captain, its another guy. So he was appointed to come to chennai for investigating these deaths. While on his way to chennai via Airport, where his sister is waiting to receive him at the airport, to everyone surprise, he didnt come. What happened, did he boarded the plane in Mumbai, Oh yes, replied, the Air hostesses who happened to be the sister's friends. Sister calls his uncled who is the DGP to find out whats going on. But even DGP cudnt find a single clue, why he did not arrive. So the sister tells the DGP, " you cant do anything, naan yaarukitta sollanumo solrean, avar orutharaala dhaan enga annana kandu pudikka mudiyum..." Will this be atleast our Captain, it has to be because already the movie has crossed 20 mins. Yes it is. Camera focusses Captain's eyes, FULL OF POWER AND ENERGY, background bullet sounds, great piece of work from Sabesh and Murali. There comes the Captain, teaching the trainees at Orissa, PTC, Police Training College. So, the sister calls Captain and explains him the issue. Captain rushes to chennai. FLASH BACK, Sila varudangalukku munnaal. Captain and Manoj were friends. Captain married his sister (another sister), oru duet and then back to chennai. Flash back ends there. Captain's role in this movie is a Crimologist. So he comes to chennai and starts the investigation. He starts off with investigating from the death of the scientist. He identifies the culprit by using his ultra technique. He informs the college to keep the gate closed as they have found the culprit is in the college and asked each and every student to assemble in the ground. So, quite obviously the culprit will try to escape from the college, afraid of being caught. Captain's plan will never fail. Yes it has happened the same way. When the culprit plans to escape out of the college by jumping from the college wall, our captain stands there and catches him. Investigating him, he reveals who has asked him to do this. So captain make him go free and he straight away goes to meet the guy who ordered him to do this. It's all captain's plan. Captain catches the guy as well. Anga oru fightu. Andha culprit coma stage. Captain seizes his house and finds the master plan worked by him and traces the plan to kill many people. But somehow the culprit escapes to Canada with the help of his power. But our captain is clever than the culprit. He too finds where he has escaped and flies to Canada. Anga vachaanga paaru INTERVAL.
So interval over, Captain flies to Canada. He was received by Laura, adhudhaan innuru figure peru. Laura is a police office also a glam doll. Apaadi dhaan director sonnaaru. She helps the captain to understand english [:P] actually he helps him to find out the culprit. So the investigation begins, karka Karka kallum karka, katru kondaan avan...nirka nirka....
There they show the Manoj, who happened to the one who is missing from the airport and captain's friends as the gang leader, the network operator behind these death. Ellarukkum ore aachariyam. Ennada idhu Honest Raj maari irukkennu. WAIT n WATCH nnu director solraaru. Captain somehow finds the culprit and speaks to him speaks to him speaks to him and makes the culprit to reveal what happened. When Manoj was travelling in the flight, the culprit meets him thinking that he is his BOSS. Yes double action ba. Captain's friend who was missing from the flight and the Gang leader has same face. Idhu theriyaama the culprit reveals the master plan he has put for destroying Chennai. He excuses himself and goes to the toilet, but the culprit finds his wallet that he is from anti terrorism force and goes to the toilet and anga oru fightu, the culprit kills him. Inga captain crying knowing that his friend is dead. Theatrela ellarum crying....ore sentiment. When the culprit was about to tell him about the master plan. Operation Blue thunder, adhu dhaan andha Operation peru, enemies shoot him. Sethutaaru. But namma Captain eppadiyo finds out the network head, Martin, yes adhu dhaan avaroda peru. He meets him and arrest him and takes him to Chennai. He produces him before the Investigation officer, adhu vera yaarum illa namma director Madhesh [:D] and he remands him imprisonment for 15 days. So they take to the jail and on the way he escapes with the help of Riyaz khan who is a police officer ACP. Appadi irukkum podhu Captainukku oru call varudhu, saying that they found the body of his friend Manoj. Captain immediately goes there to receive it and send it for post mortem. There they found a bubble gum in his mouth. Captain gets that bubble gum and press panni paakaraaru. In that bubble gum there is a memory card. Thundering claps in the theatre. His friend, takes the memory card which contains the plan of the operation blue thunder and put the card in the chewing gum what a man???
So captain finds out the plan of the operation and comes to know that the operation is an explosion like Bhopal gas tragedy and the whole chennai will be destroyed. Clue that he got out the plan is a bomb, TN 07 7128 Egg. But one important thing is that the bomb can be activated and diffused only by an EYE. Captain in a fraction, thinks and graps that the EYE belong to the gang leader Martin. So he find him and grabs him. Martin explains him the whole plan. TN - Tamil Nadu, 07 Platform No. 7128 Train no. Yes the bomb is gonna blast in a train and the place where it blast is near a Petroleum company, which, if explodes, will destroy the entire city. So Captain and Martin, jumps from a building into the train with a help of a rope and enters into the train. Anga oru fightu. But bomb enga. Andha planla oru egg therinjudhe??? Yes PANTRY CAR. So he takes him to pantry car and diffused the bomb by making the villian to open his EYES in front of the bomb.
STANDING APPLAUDS in the theatre.
WOW WOW WOW WOW Captain Captain Captain.........................[:D]

There comes the Captain, teaching the trainees at Orissa, PTC, Police Training College. So, the sister calls Captain and explains him the issue. Captain rushes to chennai. FLASH BACK, Sila varudangalukku munnaal. Captain and Manoj were friends. Captain married his sister (another sister), oru duet and then back to chennai. Flash back ends there. Captain's role in this movie is a Crimologist. So he comes to chennai and starts the investigation. He starts off with investigating from the death of the scientist. He identifies the culprit by using his ultra technique. He informs the college to keep the gate closed as they have found the culprit is in the college and asked each and every student to assemble in the ground. So, quite obviously the culprit will try to escape from the college, afraid of being caught. Captain's plan will never fail. Yes it has happened the same way. When the culprit plans to escape out of the college by jumping from the college wall, our captain stands there and catches him. Investigating him, he reveals who has asked him to do this. So captain make him go free and he straight away goes to meet the guy who ordered him to do this. It's all captain's plan. Captain catches the guy as well. Anga oru fightu. Andha culprit coma stage. Captain seizes his house and finds the master plan worked by him and traces the plan to kill many people. But somehow the culprit escapes to Canada with the help of his power. But our captain is clever than the culprit. He too finds where he has escaped and flies to Canada. Anga vachaanga paaru INTERVAL.
So interval over, Captain flies to Canada. He was received by Laura, adhudhaan innuru figure peru. Laura is a police office also a glam doll. Apaadi dhaan director sonnaaru. She helps the captain to understand english [:P] actually he helps him to find out the culprit. So the investigation begins, karka Karka kallum karka, katru kondaan avan...nirka nirka....
There they show the Manoj, who happened to the one who is missing from the airport and captain's friends as the gang leader, the network operator behind these death. Ellarukkum ore aachariyam. Ennada idhu Honest Raj maari irukkennu. WAIT n WATCH nnu director solraaru. Captain somehow finds the culprit and speaks to him speaks to him speaks to him and makes the culprit to reveal what happened. When Manoj was travelling in the flight, the culprit meets him thinking that he is his BOSS. Yes double action ba. Captain's friend who was missing from the flight and the Gang leader has same face. Idhu theriyaama the culprit reveals the master plan he has put for destroying Chennai. He excuses himself and goes to the toilet, but the culprit finds his wallet that he is from anti terrorism force and goes to the toilet and anga oru fightu, the culprit kills him. Inga captain crying knowing that his friend is dead. Theatrela ellarum crying....ore sentiment. When the culprit was about to tell him about the master plan. Operation Blue thunder, adhu dhaan andha Operation peru, enemies shoot him. Sethutaaru. But namma Captain eppadiyo finds out the network head, Martin, yes adhu dhaan avaroda peru. He meets him and arrest him and takes him to Chennai. He produces him before the Investigation officer, adhu vera yaarum illa namma director Madhesh [:D] and he remands him imprisonment for 15 days. So they take to the jail and on the way he escapes with the help of Riyaz khan who is a police officer ACP. Appadi irukkum podhu Captainukku oru call varudhu, saying that they found the body of his friend Manoj. Captain immediately goes there to receive it and send it for post mortem. There they found a bubble gum in his mouth. Captain gets that bubble gum and press panni paakaraaru. In that bubble gum there is a memory card. Thundering claps in the theatre. His friend, takes the memory card which contains the plan of the operation blue thunder and put the card in the chewing gum what a man???
So captain finds out the plan of the operation and comes to know that the operation is an explosion like Bhopal gas tragedy and the whole chennai will be destroyed. Clue that he got out the plan is a bomb, TN 07 7128 Egg. But one important thing is that the bomb can be activated and diffused only by an EYE. Captain in a fraction, thinks and graps that the EYE belong to the gang leader Martin. So he find him and grabs him. Martin explains him the whole plan. TN - Tamil Nadu, 07 Platform No. 7128 Train no. Yes the bomb is gonna blast in a train and the place where it blast is near a Petroleum company, which, if explodes, will destroy the entire city. So Captain and Martin, jumps from a building into the train with a help of a rope and enters into the train. Anga oru fightu. But bomb enga. Andha planla oru egg therinjudhe??? Yes PANTRY CAR. So he takes him to pantry car and diffused the bomb by making the villian to open his EYES in front of the bomb.
STANDING APPLAUDS in the theatre.

Verdict : A Must Watch

Kuruvi Kuruvi Kuruvi
More than Vijay fans, I expected a lot from Dharani. A dream combo, I should say, Vijay, Dharani, Trisha, Red Giant...so obvi one would expect a double bonanza as Gilli did.
An usual chasing story from Dharani, where Vijay fights the villians to discover his father and his fellowmen. Given such an ordinary script, Dharani can do wonder with his brilliance in screenplay because, Dhool and Gilli's story is another ordinary story but what the screenplay has done matters. Kuruvi, doesnt seem to have that so called racy screenplay from Dharani.
Initial half of the movie was just to attract the family and children. Main contributors for the first half are Vijay's comedy, vivek's comedy to an extent, Trisha's bubbliness and the opening song performance by Vijay. I should appreaciate the risk the actor has taken in performing such steps. Magnificant steps in the opening song. Good treat. However Happy New Year song may sound a visual treat just because of glamourus Trisha, I didnt like the song. So, upto interval there were not much story and just an usual kick go catchy direction for attraction.
"I still had confidence with Dharani" - I was telling this to my friend, who was not satisfied with the first half. But apparantly, the second half kicked off well, with musthi dialogues conversation between Vijay and Suman. But as it goes, the movie loses the power and distracts the audience attention. Unwanted stunts, irrelevant characters being introduced who just drags the story makes the audience itchy.
Aashish Vidhyarthi's performance is good in the second half. Thean thean thean song was good and pleasant to watch however Mozha mozhannu song was horrible but the set was looking attractive.
One big problem was that the story was easily predicatble. I heard people mumering what will happen next and getting vexed. The curiousity or the twist in the screenplay didnt happen.
Positives
Vijay is a big plus for the movie.
Trisha though she doesnt have scope in acting, she has done wat was given to her.
Aashish Vidhyarthi's performance is good.
BGM is really good, but I felt too loud in a few areas.
Songs are just ok, not a biggie.
Editing is smooth.
Violence is also good and neatly picturized with the help of BnW technique
Negatives
Stunts, exceptionally over rated stunts. I can understand it can attract children, but not necessarily you shud do a SPIDERMAN or SUPERMAN.
Screenplay in the second half, very much dragging.
No twist in the story.
Easily predictable.
Dont forget the director Dharani - The Captain of the movie.
Verdict : Purely for die hard fans!
Rate : 2/5
