I do not want to waste any time here - Movie is awfully bad and for god sake please give Suriya better Bollywood scripts. I do not want to elaborate on this review, because am watching this movie right after Nandala, which was a far superior film than this. IL just talk about couple of points which should emphasize this movie
Lead Cast
The only good thing RGV has done with this movie, is selecting the lead cast. Performance from them are adequate at times Vivek Oberoi performs above his usual self. But Suriya is just outstanding even though he enters only after 25minutes into the movie. His eyes are so powerful (but wrongly used half of the time in this movie) and have done a dazzling performance. You can actually feel for his revenge and regret through his eyes and more importantly his body language. Hats off to hi, lovely show by him. In case if you guys want to watch this movie, the one and only good reason is Suriya. Priyamani has Suriya's wife has done a good job with limited screen presence.
Music & Cinematography
Music is jarring, and the camera perspectives are bit of a joke. Absolutely for a serious movie like this, camera angles should aid in the pace of the movie. Am sorry to say this but this is just a debacle. It does not aid
Screenplay
Slow, boring does not gel well. There is no continuity and it's a big let down from RGV. There are no logic's in some of the scenes. I would like to give couple of examples - 1. Surya does not even plot for revenge but keep telling he is plotting one, when he is in jail. 2. The ease of which a prisoner escapes from jail and the worst thing is 3. How the bloody hell a common man can enter a ruling Tamil party meeting that too with weapons and stuff. It just brings the amateurish of the script.
There is no reason in the world you can justify why the characters speak at a snail's place from the start to end, does that mean the revenge and blood flowing through are searing.
Plot
Pratap (Vivek) and Suriya as Surya plays the main characters seeking an opportunity to kill each other. Pratap kills Suriya's father who killed Pratap's father a good guy for political reasons. Told in a sub flash back that Surya initially did not want to take revenge, instead wants to take his family to Bangalore to lead a normal life. But Pratap wanted to eliminate all his prospect enemies to pull of a successful stint in politics. He eventually kills Surya's family and thus make Suriya waiting for an opportunity to kill him . Surya helped by Surya's wife Priyamani kills Pratap. The whole story revolves around this wafer thin script.
Overall
They even showed the censor certificate with splash of red ! symbolizing Blood and Revenge, eventually the whole of the movie does not have anything else ! Disappointing after all the expectations. Nevertheless there are couple of scenes which actually work aided by Suriya's performance. Climax for an action cum revenge movie is very weak without logic. Watch it if you do not have anything else to do in the weekend.
