Who would have ever thought that I would end up watching a Vijay movie as my first in Hyderabad, especially the one which I had damn well convinced myself would be a disaster (Sorry Vijay fans...but given his past history I am not to be blamed). But A.R.Murugadoss made me eat my words.. Damn...Not that this movie is great or somethin' but it was thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining..just like any other A.R.M's movies (7 am arivu being the exception).
When will Vijay stop having those ridiculous title opening songs!!! and especially when it reminds us of the Chandramukhi opening song... The place where it was shot..was awesome.. What would I not give for my train to stop in a place like that....But I should definitely mention this. Vijay has got every necessary scene in this movie to show case his well built muscles. He has toned up well. It suits him well too for his height and stature.. The only thing that lacks in him is the facial expressions... He is trying to make it up for that in many other ways..
Kajal Agarwal is always a cutie and she definitely makes sure she emulates the chemistry well with all her co-stars (She and Karthi had a great Chemistry in Naan Mahaan Alla...) I did not watch Maatraan so I am not sure how she fared with Surya.. She was looking good with Vijay. She reminded me of Jyothika in yester years when she had to voice out her dialogues with little bit of more.... what you call it.. I am not getting that word.. You can easily make out what she is trying to say even if you are a deaf. Thankfully she made the dubbing easier (I hate to see the unmatched lip sync's). She dances well, emotes fairly enough. But she is just a pin up doll in this movie..
For once, the Villain matches the Hero in height and stature and physicality. Its not always that you get see that. Their encounter is limited but the stunts were done well. I hope that the villain's end wasn't that abrupt..but I guess that is what is takes to end it short..otherwise it will be more lengthier.
As for the screenplay..full credit..otherwise I dont think it would have been watchable.. it doesnt give you time to think twice about any question that might come to your mind. Jayaram was totally wasted. Sathyan had less job.. thankfully people did speak in hindi with a tamil voice over in places where they interacted with people in Mumbai (otherwise it would have been a terrible joke..thanks ARM) Camera work was awesome.. Songs were good but definitely a speed breaker. I was literally rooted to my place when I heard the last song by Karthik. Damn! I did not hear that before. Dialogues were good.. especially the one which gets repeated twice.. "if the enemies can sacrifice lives to take lives..well we should be ready to sacrifice lives to save lives too.. " Good one..
This must be my first post on a Vijay's movie. But the credit definitely goes to A R Murugadoss.
