Statutory warning: Hari, the director of the movie & Bharath Reddy, the producer of the movie have issued a notice in the interest of the public. The notice says that they cannot be held responsible for any acts of violence that the audience commit after watching this movie.
Trivia: Hari & Bharath Reddy have asked for 'Z Class' security from the 'Films Division of India' (They are 'experienced' in handling these kind of situations & movies) as they perceive a threat to their life's by fans frustrated after watching this movie & wanting to take out their agony on either the director or the producer.
Story: The story is so complex & full of sub-plots that narrating "Mahabharatha" would appear to be child's play. The story is so long winded that at one point in the story, we have a flashback within a flashback!!!!! It is not just the circle that is spinning whenever a flashback begins. It is our heads that is left spinning in all the directions while the story is narrated. If your are one of those guys who decides to ignore the frustration of having such a long story by 'watching' the heroine, you will be even more disappointed at that. The heroine should be some relative of the producer or a popular MLA. There is no other way the girl could have been chosen for the role of a heroine. If a screen test had been taken, she would have failed to qualify even for Doordarshan's serials.
Performance: How do you waste the talent of an accomplished actress like Nathiya? How do you make Vijayakumar all the more irritating in his 'old man from village' role? How do you ineffectively use a performer like Nasser? Watch this movie to get a 'live demo' for doing all the above stated things & more. Then there is Prabhu, Rohini, Nizhalgal Ravi, Manorama making up the long list of people who have 'appeared' on screen at some point in the movie. Special mention is to be made of the hero Vishal. Apparently, someone forgot to tell him that playing a hero is not just about doing well in action & dance routines but also about 'acting'. Please pay particular attention to the climax scene (Assuming you are still alive & sane) where he plays kabbadi exceptionally well. If he had been in the Tamilnadu Kabbadi team, we would have won a gold medal in the just concluded Asian games. Alas! What a waste of talent as Vishal has chosen to do something that he is so inept at doing.
Other aspects: During the times that I remained calm and in my senses, two of the songs sounded decent. Just decent & nothing great. One another song was a blatant lift of the tune of the popular Amman song "Karpura Nayagiye". SHAME ON YOU, YUVAN. The background score was decent & showed Yuvan's growth as a music director. If the BGM's were one step forward in his musical career, the blatant lift is a 5 step fall. The camera & editing were pretty decent considering how lousy the movie turned out to be.
Positives: Thankfully, I am just an amateur movie reviewer. If only I had been a full-time reviewer, I would have resigned my job & gone to the Himalayas for doing penance for being asked to view & review such horrendous & stupid movies.
Final Cut: Do not even venture anywhere near the theaters screening this movie.
Rating: 3/10

Oh God ! That was one funny review :-). I can feel the frustration in each and every bit of word you mentioned. My previous comments for your review of "Thiruvilayaadal Aarambam" goes for this too.
Nagesh.. Two points...
1. "Tamil Nadu" team cannot participate in the Asian games. It has to be India
2. India did win the Kabaddi Gold in 2006 Asian Games. So, "it would have won gold" is not a correct statement
Other than these blots, the review is gud....
Gold Medal Match - December 6
India 35–23 Pakistan
Murali,
He He He............. As Kamal says in PKS, "Ithellam anupavikanum, aarayakudathu"!!!!
Jokes apart, thanx for pointing the mistakes. This was one utterly hopeless movie & I had to take out my frustration somewhere illa?
see pokkiri da.. I liked that movie... Unfortunately, I dont have time to write the review (surprise surprise ;-) )
