    Don't read reviews...! Go...!! Watch it..!!!

    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...!

    best science -fri triller movie with lot of twist and turns

    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..

    Best SCI-FI ever from India

    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

    Worth the TIME!!

    Vikram K Kumar is the real hero! All his work in making such a detailed script has payed off.

    The screenplay will be slightly hard to digest for the commercial movie lovers! But I loved the way he penned the screenplay. The Romantic part is well combined with sci-fi part, so it was very engaging and enjoyable one.

    Greatest comeback for Surya! If it's Theri for Vijay, it's 24 for Surya! He just basks the whole movie on his back and delivers a great performance! Aathraya role needs special mention as he literally steals the show with his sleek villainous role.! Watch out!

    ARR silently keeps the flow of the movie with his BGM and you won't get disturbed unlike others. The Art direction and cinematography completes the visual cycle beautifully! Special appreciations to them!

    Every character is given its own importance. Was waiting for such a sci-fi thriller in Thamizh cinema that has very good detailing that it takes some time to get a good look into it completely!! Although it's on the lines of Indru Netru Naalai, 24 is the movie to watch out, purely for its screenplay! Aathraya - highlight of the whole movie! Must watch in theater!!

    As it's a sci-fi in Thamizh, 9/10!!!!

    Not made in "24" hours

    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.

      During the first time travel experience, Mani travels back in time thrice. But we can see the clocks in his shop showing different time even though he returns back to the same time, i.e., a clock showing 5.50 didn't show the same even after Mani returned to the time period.
