Mark Antony

What an epic absurdity, it was completely bonkers that I loved so many things about this film. I didn't expect it to be this good, it was fun seeing both SJ Surya and Vishal breaking the law of physics and I hoped it didn't end.

With movies catering to a thirsty young crowd director Adhik Ravichandran has raised eyebrows with an average filmography in recent years. But I bet you this film will leave many gob smacked like how such a filmmaker with a track record of mediocre films can pull off something so damn quirky, absurd that I left the theater smiling.

As with most time travel movies, this treads along the familiar pattern of the characters going back and forth to prevent an incident with unexpected consequences. The film packs so much in the runtime as the leads switch places, and professions with a pile of trouble they keep getting into, trying to change their destiny. Between all the chaos we get some cool Ajith Kumar references and a tribute to Silk Smitha that makes it somewhat one of the wacky but funny sequences in the film.

Coming to the performances, the main quartet, and I mean both Vishal and SJ Suryah gets 2 different roles to play which is very entertaining. They give it all for the role of the mechanic and the gangster playing the role with so many popcorn reel-worthy moments. One of my favorite sequences is the phone conversations in the 2nd half when the mechanic son SJ Surya assigns a task to the Father and keeps pestering him with non-cerebral entertainment. Please do check out my review for Thupparivaalan and you may notice that I had no hopes for Vishal and this is best, he had so much fun donning the Father and the Son role. The Climax anaconda sequence was madness, it is accentuated by over-the-top score by GV Prakash.

Finally, I want to say this is a really ambitious, complicated, and brave attempt by the team to provide good cinematic popcorn entertainment is highly recommended.

Vishal $ s.j Suryah are in dual role along side Ritu Varma Sunil abhinaya selvaraghavan. It might be an average movie, but not the worst either. I do appreciate that they tried something new well IIt might be an average movie, but not the worst either. I do appreciate that they tried something new well I suppose suppose it to be a dumb movie where the plot does not have real much sense I hoped that it is because it's not like this movie is without stock. SG Suryah whose comedic timing and Manna is almost perfect to the concept as such whose screen presents almost It's underwhelming screenplay.

I did not expect it to enjoy it as much as I did. Infact as a family we watched it in a single OTT sitting on Prime, so there was something going for the movie! It was over the top but that is expected for a time travel movie. Also loved it that we could not figure out what was going on in the initial half.

SJ Suryah really plays quirky characters so effortlessly. I did not like some of the lewd dialogues, could so easily have been avoided. And it could have been edited to be shorter by ten minutes at the very minimum.

Enjoyed the final avatar of Vishaal. As a son, something was off with the makeup. And glad that the ending was the way it was!

Worst ever film watched in my whole life lol. Such a huge waste of money and talent. SJ surya some how kept people awake. Completely nonsense movie 😅🤦🏻🤦🏻.. theze people should be banned from film making .

Completely spoils the name of Tamil movies and film eternity.

You will be warned, in the beginning of 5 mins of the movie. Better run away through the exit door.

What surprises me,how some people are giving positive ratings for these poor film making scripts and direction.

It completely shows the lack of film knowledge amd commonsense among the audiences.

Anyway, its just my opinion but really worst.

My man SJ Surya is out here carrying movies on his back. We had the just good Maanaadu elevated by his sheer tour de force as Dhanushkodi, and now Mark Antony. It's a shame as he wastes his best performance on such a terrible film.

My main gripe with the film was not its cartoonish plotting, irritating lead actor, but them using a LITERAL DEAD PERSON as sex appeal for the audience.

That didnt rub well at all, and it's a testament to how weird our society is that people praise it as the best part of the film.

I could go on about how brilliant SJ Surya is, and he did make me laugh boisterously out loud, despite how terrible the film is.

If you remove him, it's a solid 2/10, but his performance is just way too good.
