I had lots of expectations before going to the movie, obviously because it’s a remake of the super star’s. The movie was for 2 and a half hours and I don’t mind you Ajith fans, to tell that the movie sucked. A slow motion walk with regal suit and goggle was what Ajith was introduced with. This slow motion walk and putting on the goggle is shown through out the movie every now and then. Had they been minimized, the movie wouldn’t have reached even 1 and a half hours. J
Prabhu as DSP. Uffff…. LMAO. He didn’t get into my mind at all as a police officer. He was not Deputy Superintendent of Police, but, Dumb-Snickered-Personality. I couldn’t refrain from thinking “Is Prabhu trying his hand in comedy?”. He tosses his fingers towards his subordinates standing behind him, to face billa. I didn’t sense a pinch of majesty in it. I could only imagine it analogous to kaipullai tossing his fingers towards his allakkais to face kattadurai.
Nayantara as Sasha in don’s gang. Good to see her having reduced weight and she’s not hassle-some to the eyes when she’s glamorous, unlike the bulky Namita, who is utterly obnoxious [am not gonna dedicate a paragraph to her, I hate her man. But I should say she was a degree below the peak of intolerance in this movie]. I pity Nayantara as the costume designer had made her roam around in the movie with high-heeled knee high boots and she struggles to walk. Better luck next time Nayan: Everyone cannot be Angelina Jolie aka Lara Croft.
I uttered a deep sigh of relief on seeing Santhanam on screen but before I could complete sighing, he disappears off the screen. I wish he was given a bit more number of scenes.
Rahman as drug lord has given an optimum acting. He has done perfectly what was given to him.
Am sure the dialogue from Ajith “Murugan aaru thalai, naan ore thalai” would have been sumptuous to Ajith’s fans. Ajith’s belly gets tucked in his suits but it’s pretty noticeable when he’s in casuals. I have to admit that he’s charming. Long way to go Ajith: You need to tent at a gym.
“My name is billa” remix deserves a wow but I feel it’s not Yuvan’s music which created the magic but MSV’s. I didn’t find any other song reverberating in my ears. Probably it requires repeated listening.
The former half of the movie pushes you off the seat [or lay back in the seat and sleep] but during the latter half, you can be awake and comfy in your seat. Director Vishnuvardhan didn’t do a justice to the director of old Billa, R.Krishnamurthy.
Despite racing towards the movie scenes, my mind was keen in observing who amongst the audience would crack what comment next. The taunts from the audience were the only cajoling factor I would say, which made my money half-worthy.
It was me who suggested this movie to one of my friends who joined me to the theater and I am sure he would have cursed me for it. I was saved as he was decent enough, by not spitting over my choice. Anyways, I seek apologies buddy.
PS: No disrespect intended to anyone.

Awesome review. But I cannot agree to your review comments as I am getting various comments from various personalities. Even a fan of Vijay given some positive facts in this movie. Though rediff rated it as a flop revenue wise it turns out to be a good one.
Your words sounds like a review comment from Madan :)
Let me share my view about this movie later next week. I may totally agree with you or as usual out of sync :)
Anu! This is exactly my opinion abot the movie. Bad luck just watched y'day :(
The positives of the movie is looks of ajith, it was awesome! and cinematography of nirav shah... a complete rich look to the movie, its obvious... he has credits of being cinematographer for Dhoom series.
I felt the movie was slow moving, may be because everytime Ajith walks atleast 30-50mts in every scene ;) (Ajith aa nadika sonna nadandirukkan!).
The greatest dissapointement in the movie was yuvan. somehow felt that the richness in screen does not show up in the speakers! the songs r not so good... yet another e.g. of Yuvan's bad reputation of A class movies.
A.R.Rahman shud have scored the music and probably yuvan was the right choice for 'azhagiya tamizh magan'...
overall it is Ajith's and Nirav shah's movie. Others just have their name in!!
I pity your friend ! :)))
Glad they are making stylish movies in gollywood !
Valliappan,
You have quoted that my review is like Madan's. Am not sure if you intended to be sarcastic. To me, thats in fact a compliment. And, if you happen to like the movie, then its typical of "you". :-))
Sachi,
I wasnt knowing about Nirav. Actually, I failed to enjoy the cinematography, which is the sole strength of the movie. The immense boredom blindfolded me to such an extent that I missed out the beauty of Malaysia. Anyways, the movie isnt worth seeing again just to enjoy the cinemato of Nirav. Chucking it off. Bad luck Nirav!!!! You had been in wrong hands.
mkxndi,
Its not gollywood, its kollywood. If you are in USA, it doesnt mean you should forget that the tamil industry is named kollywood after "k"odambakkam. Shame on you. Dont ever tell you are from Chennai henceforth. :-))))
gollywood from the game goli !
vellai karan bashai la than kodambakam .. tamizh-la goodambakkam
mkxndi,
kuppura vizhundhaalum meesaila mann ottlaiya?? :-))
madras allu ache ... eppadi mannu ottum !
