24

A must watch movie for those who love Sci-Fi and Thriller.Credits goes to the Actor Suriya and the Director Vikram K Kumar they have done excellent Job. Vikram's (Director) Experiment '24' reached successfully to the audience. Nithya menen was perfect for the role so as Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Once again saranya gave her best performance in this movie. yes I am a Fan of AR Rahman's Music but little disappointed for this movie (personal Opinion).

Plus Points of the movie

1) Suriya's Acting 2) Vikram K Kumar's Direction and Screenplay 3) Innovative Story Line 4) Best Editing 5) Back ground Music (BGM)

Minus Points

1) Songs ( Felt Boring )

Over all a Big Thumbs Up for this Movie, I recommend you to watch :)

We ( Indians ) should encourage (Director's) Talent.

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.

Story is an clean and well explained Surya acting steals the movie Thiruu has done a best part in this movie Vfx is equal to Hollywood range... Samantha cute expression is awsm.. Nithya comes in a small part and gave her 100%.... As usual saranya mothers role has added nice sentiment btwn son and mother in the film ARR music was At top notch... Vikram Kumar the king of the film...

The only problem is that Surya repeat the same dialog again and again... Vikram could have avoided that..

. NOTE: movie time is gonna be reduced to 164 min to 154 min hopefully Vikram should cut the repeating dialog in it...and worth for money

A nice movie all worked 100% in it..and the movie is 100% awsm..

Note: the write-up is based on the 2 hours 34 minutes trimmed version that is currently being played in theaters.

The film is trimmed, Well trimmed indeed. Right through the 154 minutes run time, The film is filled with lots of 'Disney' like fun moments that will be enjoyed by the kids and you wont be annoyed accompanying them.

The 'Actor Surya' who has been lately trying hard to become 'Entertainer Suriya' seems to be back in a well executed film. Suriya trying to select different kinds of scripts was clearly evident through his previous films but the script which looked good in paper was never executed well in the screen and this is the only factor why 24 as a film is a well made comeback film. Talking about the execution, Suriya plays three different characters and each character seems to be a break up for three different kinds of audience.

Mani- The jolly go lucky -romantic guy who is enjoyed by the family audience.

Sethuraman- The typical 'for the critic' written guy who runs the plot of the film.

Athreya- The stylish villain who keeps the boys excited throughout the run time.

These break up of characters have done wonders in the film to satisfy whole of the audience and this is the reason why I call this as a 'Pakka Masala' product.

(Taking about me calling this film a 'Pakka Masala product' and if you find this offensive try finding another alternative word for a Sci-Fic film like this containing some totally unwanted romance and misplaced songs, From Thani Oruvan i have been complaining about this and I'm already tired) Right from the film Manam director Vikram Kumar seems to never get the romantic scenes right. It will mostly end up has a half written and half swallowed lines but his brilliance as a writer is rightly shown in the place where he should be appreciated for. His writing and linking of each characters to the story shows his intelligence. Sometimes it makes you complain about the co incidence but believe me it is never easy to link all characters to one plot.

There are different versions of Time travel and as time travel never been proved or experienced you are forced to accept the directors version of time travel. If you have a friend who sees different kinds of films and is comparing each film and finding faults, its high time you ask the nerd to shut up.

According to my knowledge the directors version of time travel is simple, well written and presented. Leaving those love scenes aside the screenplay is well written and even a little bit of annoyance will make you miss some twists. Vikram Kumar seems to be playing a intelligent game with the audience, every time you expect the character to reveal something he fools you and shows you how intelligent his characters are. I bet you can never predict those 'I got it right' moments and it is one of the reasons why the film is never a bore.

Samantha is adorable in each scene and Saranya as usual does the mother role at her best. Talking about the characters in the film, There are around 5 important characters and in which 3 of them are being played by Surya himself :P still you never get bored, Even the style of crying seems to be different for each character.

Another brilliance in the movie is the visual effects. The moments of keys, the inside of the watch and the rain sequence (my favorite ) isn't an immature work. Kudos to the cinematographer and VFX TEAM.

As said before you will never be annoyed watching this film in theater, until your nerd friend starts his theories. :P
