Billa

The movie has too many flaws and just too much style for style's sake. The director focus on presentation aspects seems to have had its effect on the story and plot.

Ajith looks good but thats hardly enough for a good action movie. Nayanthara attempts a macho look which does suit her at times but Namitha is an embarrassment.

There are a few positives though, a few daring stunts were well done and the costumes have been carefully chosen. But the movie fails to build on its solid base. This could have been a modern version of a compelling classic but for Billa's fans this was a disappointment.

Hello friends

Billa was the only south Indian film that was selected for cannes film festival in the year 2007.So guess how much impact it created among all over the world.Its really a fantastic movie i ever seen .Most stylish film ever in the history of south Indian films.Its almost like Hollywood movie.The way music performed by Yuvan Shankar Raja was superb.The theme music was excellent .It even catched many peoles mind. Just imagine that the movie is the third remake of Don after King Khan.Even though story was known to everybody , the way film was directed made people to see the movie with more eagerness.Also repeated audience made the film a grand success

This movie is fast-paced and entertaining. I was surprised that this action movie was clean, sharp and really worth watching. Most of the time the Tamil fighting scenes are very long and irritating.

On a positive note, Ajith Kumar's performance is outstanding and I'm glad he tried something different. But, he did not really seem to enjoy playing this character as much as Shahrukh Khan did in Don. I wish Ajith gave the character just a little bit more personality but other than that he was excellent. Nayantara was not bad. This is the first time I have seen her in an action movie and I think she did a pretty good job although she did not get a lot of screen time. All the other supporting actors and actresses really held this movie together and I think they did a really nice job.

The story line is only problem. The script is very similar to the Hindi version at the beginning of the movie and lost the sparkle. However in the end, the movie was nicely tied up and surprising.

The songs are okay. There were nicely spaced out through out the movie. The theme song played throughout the movie is catchy and so is "My name is Billa."

Overall, I was expecting a bit more originality even though it is remake of Don and Billa. There should have been just a few more unexpected twists to really hold on the viewer's interest.

I rate this movie 7/10.

BILLA - One of the most important films in Tamil cinema.....

Such a stylish film in Cinematography, Making & Costume designing.

Film's a trend-setter.....

Ajith's most stylish film....

Crispier script of all languages versions of DON & BILLA. (Amitabh, Rajini, Sharukh, Ajith, Prabhas) Yuvan has just rocked in the BGM.

And, Vishnuvardhan's best......

On the flip side, Songs are just average.

Totality is missing in the film......

Climax could have been better with any other twist.

The movie was good. Ajith acted very stylish in the movie. Songs and BGM were also good in the movie. Fight scenes in the movie were fantastic in the movie.
