This is one among "the best" of Kamal.The screenplay is really a wonder.The character of Viswanath(kamal's boss) in the movie is a prelude to that of kamal's. Some of the dialogue's are evergreen.esp the ones kamal and nasser share in the sea shore. The camera focuses on kamal's Black Ray-Ban and Nasser is all in pain in that reflection.So clear,so true.P.C has done a gr8 job.The lighting for the interrogation scenes are just perfect. For those regular "P.Vasu" kind of cop movies,wherein the cop will have every power on this earth to even ask the chief minister to stop talking,this one was a bolt out of the blue. Also the tollgate scene where the cop shoots one of the terrorist's will happen in tamil cinema ,but not the dialog that follows that.Its where kamal asks the cop whether he is married.The lighting and camera angle is so perfect,as if u feel that P.C had just sat in the floor to capture it on the screen.Whata work? The indoor scenes are very good,with bright lighting,bright contrast dresses for the men n women. A gr8 offbeat by kamal and P.C.Sriram
A non commercial, genuine patriotic movie. Kamal Haasan's and Arjun's acting brought beauty to the story.
A treat watch movie for all the true film lovers.
A treat watch movie for all the true film lovers.
Just 2 words to describe this movie which is "Great movie". Acting vise kamal and arjun both are awesome. Whenever i see this movie, i can feel the rawness. Almost equal to a hollywood movie.
An example of action thriller movie in indian cinema carrier is kuruthipunal. Nailed it.
Kamal and Arjun appointed as head to catch a terrorist team.
They send a cop as a spy inside the terrorist group and collecting the information about them.
Accidentally Nasser the head was caught by kamal in a railway station.
Terrorists needs to know who is the spy and release Nasser. Kamal, Arjun needs whole terrorists. Apart from the main story many questions are being unanswered. Film doesn't say who are the terrorists what do they want? But, we can understand they are portrayed as Naxals.
Nasser plays with black dress which may refer Dravidism. Because the film title has black and red, which is the color of dravidian party. The People in dravidism always wears black dress but, the no on with dravidian idealogy are terrorists. They don't need to become terrorists because, they are ruling the party of Tamil Nadu.
I never heard a naxal raping a police officer wife and assassinating a central minister so cool, shooting a child, and many. The film ends with kids of terrorists killed by Kamal attacking Kamal's son and saying it is a revenge.
If you are a general audience, the film will be nice. But, if you dissect many questions come from it.
