The plot is highly confused and does not know which direction it wants to head to. You have forced storylines of love, self-discovery, struggle, revenge, etc which just makes one convoluted mess of a movie.

Background score is quite average too. The trailer is the only thing that was interesting about this movie.

Sadly this is one I regret watching.

PS: What's with IMDb requiring 600 characters for a review. I'd like to keep it short and crisp and not planning to enter an essay-writing competition. So these are just filler lines I'm adding to reach the ridiculous character limit. Hope they review this stupid rule.

What could have been India's Game of Thrones is made into an ambiguous, convoluted mess. The screenplay is partly to blame but the direction is utterly poor.

Scenes which are supposed to convey how smart and adept Vanthiyathevan is, is shown like a comedy sequence. In fact, almost all scenes with Karthi involved is made to look like a comedy movie.

Why Jayaram's role is key to the story and how he is well known is not clear at all. The same goes for multiple characters who can be introduced in a whim, on screen.

While the movie has a 150 minute run time, this is a case where the audience wouldn't have minded a 180 minute runtime with more depth into the characters and story.

The action scenes have 3 set-pieces which are repeated. In fact the battle scenes could have been avoided altogether as there was nothing to see in those.

What could have been a masterpiece in more capable hands becomes just a massive waste of talent!

The director's first movie and it looks so - screenplay looks like some randomly conceived scenes put together, poor editing where scenes transition and end abruptly, poor character development.

The entire plot revolves around 2 sentences of research done by the screen writer. Had the promise to be much better but ends up an amateurish attempt.
