Analysis
A racy and rivetting movie. Hari has infused commercial elements at the right moments in the movie. As like any other Hari movie, it proceeds at hectic pace and there are no dull moments in the film. The father-son affection is brought out in a right manner. The story may not be new to the masses, but it has enough elements to work out magic on the audience. However songs are a brake to the proceedings in the movie. The on-screen chemistry between Dhanush and Tamannah are brought out well. Watch out for the climax. Hari is good at coming out with thrilling moments that leaves a surprise on the audience.
Technicalities
Hari is good at handling mass themes. He begins from where he left in SIngham. The razor sharp dialogues and slick editing adds strength to the film. Cinematography by Vetri is top-class capturing the village beauty well, while Dervi Sri Prasad's music is racy and roaring. While the movies begins slowly, it gathers speed as it progresses.
Performance
Dhanush rocks big time in the role of an angry young man. He is at ease not just in stunt sequences, but equally good in romance and emotional sequences. Dhanush shoulders a major responsibility in the film. He delivers it with consummate ease.
Tamannah is apt for the role. She is bubbly and cherubic. Interestingly she comes in traditional pavadai thavani all through oozing right glamour. Prakashraj as corrupt politician is tailor-made for the role. However there are enough comical elements brought out by him. He reminds one of his role in Ghilli. Ganja Karuppu does evoke some humour. But the scene stealer is Rajkiran. He plays his part exceedingly well. he is solid in his performance. Anger, agony, frustration and love are brought out well by him.
