24

I had some high hopes with 24 (2016). But I was disappointed with it. I was expecting some paradoxes in the movie, some sort of predestined event that was inevitable, but nothing was there to wow.

Perhaps happy ending made it bit boring. Could have been certainly better. Character of Sathya (Played by Samantha) felt useless and that character had little to no major affect on storyline. The reason for rivalry between the Brothers (Athreya & Shiva Kumar) is not mentioned in the movie. I expected more from this movie especially with Time Travel concept. Movie is average just because concept is new doesn't make it any better. My rating would be 6.5.

This being my first review on IMDb,I'd like to be impartial.

Masterpiece.The film's carved so perfectly you'll be satisfied once you come out of the theater. First thing,the story,it'll be what you expect from a time-travel movie.It's not exaggeration when I compare this movie with "Predestination" and "Triangle".The Interval scene will keep you guessing and if you can guess it,you're wrong anyways. Second thing,Suriya's versatility.Suriya is a perfect cast because you love him and hate him at the same time because he is the protagonist as well as the antagonist. Third thing,background score.Well,what more can you expect from the legend himself. If you see someone giving a rating less than 9,suggest him to watch the movie again because he didn't get it the first time.

Thank you for the classic,Vikram Kumar.

As a doctor who fan, I thought the time traveling elements in the show could one day be matched in Tamil film industry. This movie came very close to it. Excellent writing and acting pave way for a new darling for critics. I really liked Surya's Psychotic killer role than his other two. As the negatives, I could say the romance and songs killed my mood multiple times. Songs are pure time dragging (Yes I know it is ARR). But I do understand the need for commercial elements. They should have released a shorter version of the movie in oversees without all that romance crap for the international audience. Overall, this movie is gold and the best ever from the actor we all admire. My rating would be 8.4/10

This movie possess everything:

• Strong story base

• Sci-fi fantasy

• Romance, though below par from the standard of entire movie

• Deadly villain

• Unexpected twists

• Family drama

• perfect logic loops

A once in a decade kind of film, very carefully handled in terms of screenplay and direction. The movie starts in a typical sci-fi way, then slowly takes you into a roller-coaster ride with some unimaginable and unpredictable destinations.

Cinematography & VFX deserves a special mention as this film could have been nothing without this team.

In a sci-fi film, you cannot think of songs to gel up with the pace of the film, but here, they were awesomely handled. BGM, out of word - Rahman rules all over.

Its triple role for Surya as Athreya/Mani/Sethuraman and he rules the entire movie with his performance. The antagonist Athreya is on top of the rest.

Amidst a completely occupied screen space for the lead actor, Samantha and Nithya Menon have got decent roles and they have done their parts well.

The movie do have a few glitches in the first half, but they are completely negligible for its 'never seen before' kind of feel, when your anticipation goes wrong all the time.

Verdict: Just go for it...!

Must watch film.... Everything is perfect in this movie. Being a science fiction film, it is also fun to watch. Watched it in the first day of release(first show too), the theater response was crazy! Positive reviews everywhere,movie is just awesome. It is filled with sentiments, humor and twists. There were twists and thrills till the very end! No single scene seemed boring. Songs are amazing and lovely too. Every scene gives you goosebumps. It is not like other south Indian films. Screenplay is extraordinary. Dialogues are unique. Don't guess any scenes while watching movie because the next scene will be entirely different from your guess! Villain character rocked with no cigar, alcohol or vulgar words. Best movie so far
