    Suriya was the only good thing about the film.

    Honestly disappointed in the film. Weak screenplay as evident by flashing of various scenes without much continuity. The plot was fairly decent , but as i mentioned, let down by weak screenplay. Personally felt like it lacked the magical touch of KV Anand.

    The best part of the movie were the actors themselves : Suriya was a delight to watch, Mohan Lal is amazing as well (though restricted by weak plotline) ,Arya and Sayesha did their job well. The BGM was not upto the mark (only one song was very good, and that itself sounded similar to a recently released Spanish song) .

    Overall I feel mad that a wonderfully talented actor like Suriya has been restricted by the film standard. 5 stars for Suriya + 1 star for the other actors.

    Could have been a better work

    Director K.V.Anand's template magic didn't work out to the expected level in this movie.Suriya is the only actor who was carrying the entire movie.Disappointing work by Harris in Sound Track as well as BGM.Except Surya,all other known actors like Mohanlal,Boman Irani,Arya and Samuthirakani in this movie had been underutilized.Chirag Jani makes an impressive debut as Villain.Racy and entertaining screenplay is the appreciable factor here.Cinematographic work and fight sequences are good to witness.Engaging first half and average second half made the movie a normal one.

    Keen Ambition, Mediocre Execution

    On the positive side, the film boasts an impressive cast, with performances that are solid if not extraordinary. The lead actors bring a certain charisma and credibility to their roles, and their efforts do add some weight to the story. The production values are decent, and the film manages to capture a few visually engaging moments, particularly in its action sequences.

    However, the film struggles with several issues. The narrative feels overly familiar, treading a well-worn path that doesn't offer many surprises or fresh angles. There are elements of the plot that seem predictable and derivative, lacking the originality that could have set it apart.

    The pacing is another problem, with certain stretches of the film dragging on and diluting the impact of its more intense moments. Additionally, the film's attempts to delve into deeper themes often come off as heavy-handed and underdeveloped, failing to fully resonate.

    In summary, while the film has a capable cast and some visually appealing aspects, it ultimately falls short of making a significant impact. It's a decent watch if you're in the mood for something familiar, but it may not leave you with much to remember.

    Definitely not UA rating

    Sexually explicit double meaning dialogues, sex scenes at club, violence. Should be rated 18+. Average action movie
    5sarathvclsp

    This rating is totally unbelievable

    A movie with same plot and same story followed by Tamil masala movies... I can't believe that how this film has got 7+ imdb rating... five is my rating... I think movie director thinks that tamil is a national Language.. pakistan terrorist,defence minister and everyone talks tamil only even the kashmir Children also sing Tamil song... No need of a heroine in this film.. sayyesha didn't have any role in this movie...
