Story:Fictional epic fantasy. Revolves around 2 ancient kingdom but centralized in one character. Full of vengeance, drama, inspiration and political message. Just a usual Indian warrior story with some mass effect of course due to Rajinikanth. Good plotting and climax.
Cast: (Since it is a motion capture characters I cant say much about their acting) Superstar Rajinikanth as Rana, Sena and Kochadaiyaan. His voice and gestures will be treat for his fans. I really loved the Kochadaiyaan character. Seems very principled. Deepika Padukone as Rana's lover Vadhana. And then we have all the supporting characters played by Aadhi, Jackie Shroff, Nassar, Shobana, Sarath Kumar and many others.
Screenplay: The movie will have all the entertainment that needed for a commercial movie. Since it is fictional fantasy and more of an animation (eventhough they deny it is an animation) therefore cant expect much of logic in the movie. Good thing about the movie it had good dialogues. Certain dialogues will give you goosebumps. The fighting scenes were quite good especially the climax war scene. It seems like finally our Superstar gets into real action. Songs were good but the transitions were quite poor. Songs will be cramped in short time. One of the disappointment for me is this is not the best intro for our superstar. He had better opening in his earlier movies. And last but not least the graphics. regardless of being new attempt which should be appreciated, the face details were quite poor. The eyes especially, certain scenes seems like the character having squint eye. Even though it is a motion capture work, It is seems like usual ramayana and mahabaratha 3D animation. But overall it will be quite entertaining to watch, just like watching pixar and dreamworks movies. Good effort anyway.
Music: The music composed by A.R.Rahman, no compromise an added advantage. The BGM will definitely give you goosebumps.
Plus Point: Story, Screenplay, Music and Fight Sequence and Dialogue
Minus Point: Graphics and song transitions
Verdict: A family entertainer to be watched by all.
