This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie was not good. The story is good. But the way they presented in the movie was very boring and bad. The fight scenes in the movie was mass and entertaining. Songs also not so good in the movie, only the theme song and its bgm was only good. Comedy in the movie was also somewhat good. The villain acting was very bad in the movie.

I somehow happened to enter in the theatre which i still believe was my own fault. There ws no other good unwatched movies that time. Trailer was also disappointing. I don't hate vijay, since i liked some of his recent films, and i don't love him either. I had no expectation and still I really regret for wasting money for such a bad movie. There is nothing new in it. An ancient story which has been the story of almost all vjay films, except a few. Not only vijay, there are a million tamil films with the almost exact theme. I don't understand why vijay selected this film comparing to his other recent films, which were so much better ones. I walked out of the theatre half an hour after the interval. boring boring and boring.

Let me start by saying that I'm getting very much used to the same type of climax which is a common thing in Vijay movies now (Thupakki being an exception to some extent). There is not much role in the movie for heroine. Same old story, Hero mass entry, entry song, villain enters, romance, fight, again song, again fight and finally hero kills villain or transforms him. Nothing really much in the movie for anyone apart from hardcore Vijay fans. First half is a little better compared to the second half which becomes very predictable. Music is good at times but boring for most parts. All in all I would strongly advice anyone from wasting their money on this movie unless you are a die-hard Vijay fanatic. The fact that this movie is being replaced in many of the cinema screens across the city with movies like Dhruvangal Pathinaaru which had released earlier than this movie due to the demand of good stories among the Tamil audience.

#NO SPOILERS ****** Right from the movie announcement, cast, first look, teaser, trailer and songs the expectation for this flick was moderate, which was obvious and I can that the say the movie exactly matched it, except for the fact that it had a good content and few unexpected mass scenes. Like #Vedalam this movie also had all the qualities that it should have been released around 2005 to 2010 and not in this era. Yes an Agmark mass commercial Masala with good scenes then and there. Yet another One man army movie where Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay carried the whole movie right from the beginning. Movie had a strong plot but a weak execution in the second half. Director Bharathan is very good in paper work as he comes up with good / different stories ( first ATM, now Bairavaa ) and he had penned the dialogues for films like Ghilli and Veeram. When it comes to executing the same on screen, he fails. But there is an improvement compared to ATM ( it has to be, right :P ?). The first 20 or 30 minutes was very dull and kinda boring, even though many claim that the cricket fight was good, I don't feel that way.The actual story started then and it was in a good pace followed by a perfect interval block (Semma Mass!!!!) with Varlam Varlam Va " Bairavaa" BGM!! . Second half continued at a considerable pace by reminding us movies like Sivakasi (film), Veeram etc loses it by the uninspiring cat and mouse game between the hero and villain when nearing towards the Pre climax sequences. Then ends up in a normal climax. The reason for losing the pace was the placement of the scenes in the second half like a good scene followed by a bad scene , then again a good scene followed by a very bad scene. This movie would have been much better if some portions were trimmed. Sathish's one liner comedy helped here and there whereas Thambi Ramaiah was a great Mokkai. Keerthi Suresh as usual didn't have any scope. Another notable negative point is Mr. Santhosh Narayanan for the songs and BGM. 65 to 70% of the movie had "Varlam Varlam Va " Bairavaa" BGM and I doubt whether the remaining part had any RR. Particularly there was fight scene between Vijay and Daniel Balaji with a strong sentimental BGM (WTH ?? ) . This reminds me of the BGM in Kabali fight scene where Thalaivar rescues Radhika Apte in a BGM of absolute silence!! Also the placements of the songs in second half was bad. Papa Song visuals was good with a village temple background and good dance number. To conclude, if you are a neutral and who doesn't have any expectation and doesn't dive deep into anything. This movie would entertain you. For others except the fans, might or might not work out. On a box office point of view , there are certain movies which became hits even earned negative/Mixed reviews at the time of its release with various deciding factors. Examples ( Maan Karate, Maari, Vedalam , Theri etc) the first two due to the Pre release buzz it created and low budgets, the latter ones mainly for the few mass scenes which had been received well mainly in B and C centers even though the content wasn't good enough. So this movie has a very high chance of joining that list! #StrictlyMyview!!!
