24 is an intelligent mix of Science fiction and whistle worthy commercial entertaining elements.
Suriya pulled off with his mannerisms and charms in most of the dragging moments in the first half of the movie.
Suriya aces in all the three characters especially menacing Athreya is a treat to watch. Nithya Menon shines in the brief cameo.
Vikram Kumar's gripping screenplay in the second half (except for the romance and song) makes this well made Sci-fi thriller enjoyable.
Samantha's romance portions is a huge let-down although Vikram Kumar makes some of the portions interesting with imagine-o-romance-0-philia and some nice touches in an otherwise hugely boring romance track.
Rahman's Music and BGM sounds apt although nothing extaordinary to offer from the composer. Cinematography is top notch with stunning visuals and frame color pallates are visually appealing.
Overall, nice movie to watch especially for Suriya if one can tolerate first half of the movie. Comparisons with Indru Netru Naalai are bound to be there because of the same genre. INN surely was a sincere attempt and stays true to the genre of the movie with right healthy mix of comedy and Sci-fi elements. But Suriya needs to be lauded for experimenting with different scripts from Maatraan, 7 aum Arivu and now 24 unlike other A listed commercial actors in Tamil movie scenario.
