    Billa of 2007, a movie to talk...

    I saw this movie for Vishnu Vardan without any expectations. And, I honestly couldn't believe it saying myself. It's a good movie, though could have made better. I am still trying to figure out if it is really Ajith's movie. Usually, his movies sucks. This movie is by far his best works. The director had tried to make this movie in Hollywood style, I guess. This movie has no romance and no comedy. A complete action packed thriller, it is. I feel there are three unnecessary songs. They could have been avoided though. Then it might have been better.

    For others who couldn't accept this movie, don't compare it with the old Billa. I haven't seen the old one and honestly, I don't plan to as Rajini Kanth is the worst actor. He's all about style. You guys accept whatever Rajini Kanth does, but you can't this remake ? Honestly, if you can accept Rajini Kanth to come back alive from his death then, this movie is 10 times far better.

    The costume of Nayantara is the costume of Tom Rider. Some of the stunts are copied from here and there. The theme song is really good. The director succeeded in keeping the suspense till the end. The movie was gripping but not up to Hollywood standard.

    Maybe in the future good movies might come. I still couldn't believe that this is really Ajith's movie.

    My vote, 6.4/10

    Ajith's Billa: A Milestone in Thala as well as Tamil Cinema's history

    First of all, I've got to say Ajith Kumar's acting was top-notch. Frankly, among other's from Amitabh, Rajni, SRK, Prabhas, Ajith has given the best version of Don.

    The cool, suave, yet menacing as well as electrifying personality which was carried practically by Ajith throughout the film.

    His definition of style made Sharukh looks like a joke. Ajith's good looks, style, restrained acting, easily makes SRK pale in comparison.

    Most peoples that bad-mouth the film are SRK fans that simply felt threatened over Ajith's astounding acting performance.

    Yeah, truly. What does Bollywood guys do? They attempt to act, called it as acting, trash.

    Here, in Kollywood, pure talents are ruling the roost. Ajith Kumar is one. A gem.

    One of the Trend-setters in Kollywood

    BILLA - One of the most important films in Tamil cinema.....

    Such a stylish film in Cinematography, Making & Costume designing.

    Film's a trend-setter.....

    Ajith's most stylish film....

    Crispier script of all languages versions of DON & BILLA. (Amitabh, Rajini, Sharukh, Ajith, Prabhas) Yuvan has just rocked in the BGM.

    And, Vishnuvardhan's best......

    On the flip side, Songs are just average.

    Totality is missing in the film......

    Climax could have been better with any other twist.
