Story: A story on vengeance. Common within Kollywood movies. Had a good introduction and twists. But this is not something new for Tamil cinema. A mixture of action, romance and vendetta with the mix of common kollywood masala. Awesome portrayal of friendship but very typical lingusamy movie.
Cast: Suriya as Raju Bhai and Krishna. He plays an anti-hero. Cool make over, manage to catch many eyes for sure. His usual anger gesture is shown at many places. Great actor and worth appreciated. He did his stunts well. Vidyut Jamwal as Chandru, Raju Bhai best buddy. Only problem was his lip sync, felt like watching dubbing film. But other than that, he did very well with his action sequences. Samantha as Jeeva, Raju Bhai's lady love. Usual girl next door character. Nothing much and only appears most of the time in flashbacks. Manoj Bajpai played Imran Bhai, the main villain. He had that bad ass look but bad lip sync. Again I felt like watching a dubbing movie. Supporting characters played by Soori, Brahmanandam and many others
Screenplay: Not so good screenplay. Unnecessary and draggy flashbacks. The movie was dragged for 3 hours when it can end in 2 hours. The songs were a spoiler, comes at unnecessary scenes and lengthen the movie. And too many slow motion made it look boring. Good cinematography, had almost the same projection of colours as thuppaki since it had the touch of Santosh Sivan. But I felt there is a over use of slow motion in the movie. And the romance scene were not that good as well. Some of the fight scenes were superb especially Vidyut's stunts. But there were one or two exaggerated action. I sense too many cliche and were just another masala movie. But I liked the Suriya-Vidyut combo, it was kind of cool.
Music: The music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, songs were average, but the BGM was superb. In one word MASS!!
Plus Point: Story, Stunts, Suriya's acting, Cinematography
Minus Point: Screenplay, Songs, Draggy
Verdict: A good commercial story with bad screenplay. worth watching once in cinema
