ridiculous rating

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

movie runs more than 2 and half hours, which is such a waste movie.please vote genuine, what for 8.6 IMDb rate.??? what does the reviews rating stand for?? mad max is given 8.2 the revanant as 8.2 and there are many films that needs to be given more than 8 this doesn't need 8 it has to be given 3 or something like that for nothingdon't even know where do i begin with this atrocity. Everything was horrible, from the premise, the actors, the comedy relief, the stunts, heroine, Story (there was none). It is like a wasted potluck, anything you pick from this movie can taste literally horrible and you would wonder why do you need it at all I like masala movies, not a huge fan but still, as i saw the trailer i knew what was i into. All i was expecting from this movie was some really fantastic dialogues which will become the cuss of all Chennaiates in future and a equally good acting by Siddharth and some mindless action. Please anyone tell me if this is too much of an expectation. And the movie did not miss this by a pinch, it missed it by a huge mile.

Although overall it is an good entertaining movie. I cannot agree this is a novel script. I feel like watching an old movie in different language. Since everyone seems to say this is original / novel script, but I feel it is a remake of the movie released earlier in 2005 in Malayalam named Udhayanu Tharam which was well received the same way because of the unusual story.Similarities, Apart from the core concept, even the scenes are similar Arguments over artistic movie vs entertaining movie. Bring acting teacher and his teaching comedy with navarasam Turning the original script without the knowledge of the hero that he was being joked...

The first thing that anyone can say after watching the movie is that its a new genre of movie.Its a story of an aspiring director who attempts making a action movie on a don's life, decides to follow such a living rowdy and in the attempt gets caught by the group. Till this point the movie is paced with good action, seriousness and leaves the audience in suspense for the interval.After the interval, the movie has dynamic change in the direction of the story where in the gangster (Assault Sethu) himselves gets interested in the movie on his life and gives all the detail that the director wanted. But what happens after that is completely what you will never expect. The humour has worked out in an extra ordinary way that your hands might pain clapping and ur stomach might pain laughing.The notable performance by Simhaa (Sethu) is added advantage in the movie. The characterization is so powerful that even after seeing him as a comedian in previous movies, you wouldn't feel it anywhere in the first half.I can certainly say the movie has all the gripping elements to make the audience to be involved with the script from few mins from beginning till the end. The movie has achieved what was intended and defines to the meaning of the title (Hot-Cool) (First half-Second Half), But you cannot make a clear choice whether it was a complete movie in spite of the efforts put in the climax to justify it. And the most powerfully introduced character gives all the details of his murders as a recording which also adds to contradictory facts.

Ever since the first teaser of this film came out, I was hooked to it. And boy did it deliver!!! Bobby Simha has everyone in the theater terrified by his acts in the first half and then the twist in the second half gives him even more ground to play his amazing acting skills. Siddarth does his act well but its admirable that he let Bobby overshadow him whenever he is on screen. Karunakaran as his side kick Oorni is well cast as well as all others in this movie. I always thought a good film maker is one who gives definition to each character in his movie so that we get engrossed in their lives. Here Karthik has given dimensions to each little character and we cannot get them out of our heads. I always thought if u give the audiences a good scene every 5 minutes of your movie, it could be a entertainer and here we have a movie which entertains you every single minute of that 170 minutes duration. Movie is a classic!!! I'm glad that I watched it in theater and god bless Karthik Subbaraj!
