10 Endrathukulla

If you ask me, I should have probably walked in just in time for the second half of the movie. Of course, I wouldn't have understood all that much, but anyway.

I will be dividing this review into two parts everywhere. The first half and the second half!

1. Direction - First half - It was crude, slapstick and down right boring. Right from the beginning fast and furious like sequence all the way to the intermission, it was a drag. Samantha down right got on my nerves. So much so, I wished to god I could slap her right across the screen. Second half - The direction was pretty much the same. Bad sequences and badly down fights. Of course, one thing that always amazes me is how Indian cinema forgets blood. A guy will be hit right across his face with a sharp object and when he falls to the floor, there will be no blood around him!

2. Writing - First half - Puts you to sleep! Second half - Perks up a bit. The story finally stars unraveling. And the plot starts making sense.

3. Acting - Vikram - Wasn't exceptional. Was just like any other tamil actor. Trying to act cool and macho with his lame jokes. Trying to take on way more bad guys than he can deal with etc etc.

Samantha - This girl blew me away. She is the sole reason I enjoyed the second half of the movie and the sole reason I am rating it a thumping 8. Her acting as the usual dumb damsel in distress wasn't exceptional. But in the second half when she rose as the warrior princess of the clan, my god, I was really impressed. She did herself and the tamil cinema proud. I hope she gets to act in more domineering roles like that rather than the usual mousy ones women are always subject to.

4. CGI - Forget it. It was so boring, it was like a bad video game.

5. Sound - Irrespective of what the public says, I quite liked the sound track and the song sequences.

Bottomline - If you are a guy looking for "hot masala" this movie is not for you. If you are a woman who believe in women empowerment, go for the second half.

I watched hindi dubbed version of this movie "Dus ka Dum". I was annoyed hearing Nepal called as part of North India. I would like to suggest the makers of this movie to atleast acknowledge all that those scenes were from Nepal and not from North India.

The film takes you for a good ride. Vikram looks as the coolest star down south. Car chase and stunts were awesome. Screenplay could have been with more pace. Overall a good go.

The plot revolves around their travel from Chennai to Missouri. The scenes in Chennai has a lot of humour, I learned from Sam the art of driving a car.

Nepal can be witnessed with full scenery as the camera works are excellent throughout the film. Song were up to the mark and in par with the BGM. VFX could have been given more care as it looked patchy at parts.

A film which could be watched by family audience.

The movie was very bad. Nobody acted good in the movie. Songs and BGM in the movie was good. There is no interesting part in the movie. Boring movie.

Apart from Special effects blunder, I don't see any major issues. Camera,Songs,BGM,Comedy all in top form. It's look like organized bad publicity from Critics, I did not read single negative feed back from technicians.

New attempt ,We need to encourage these sort of films.

Vikram,Samntha,Pasupathi all did great job.

Imman music is awesome.

Camera angles in chase is brilliant.

First half could have been shorter in my opinion. Looking forward to see your next movie.
