Featured review
Let me try to break down my scoring criteria.....
1) Casting is nothing short of perfection. Not a character out of place and every character is perfectly suited for the movie. No one tries to stand out or any over the top heroism or villain.
2) Dialog is exactly how it needs to be. Again not a word out of place. No "punch" dialogues as such.
3) Songs - Too good. No silly duets in some eye candy place. Songs are placed at the exact moments it needs to be in the movie.
4) Theme - Not often we see such themes on movies and its very hard to make a movie that is interesting and gripping out of such themes. Very well done.
5) Last but not the least - Thanush had made a killer of a performance here. Doesn't try to overact or try to be a "mass" hero. He fits in exactly how the movie needs him to be. My respect for him as a actor has grown many folds after I watched this movie.
Im 100% satisfied with this movie. Top class stuff in every department.
