Thani Oruvan.... After the much hyped flaunting all over social media, I gave it a shot a couple of days after the release and the movie lived-up to all expectations...Not sure if its a coincidence that Director Raja got rechristened to Mohan Raja, so does his style of making remake movies.... Undoubtedly "What a change-over mama" moment for Raja.. I mean Mohan Raja... You are impressed right from start ... the twist that unfolds, when we all expect Thambi Ramiah to take charge of the crime, vouches that this movie is gonna be an outlier... The best thing that had happened to Raja is cast of Arvind Swamy... Man..... What a stylish appearance.... a suave antagonist Tamil cinema has ever seen.... Undoubtedly the best find of Maniratnam.... He juz transcends all that you would expect out of a negative character.... This is one of those rarest movies where there is literally no physical fight between the hero and the villain, yet their confrontation every time keeps you glued to the screen.... BGM score by Hip Hop Tamizha Aadhi perfectly augments the script and this guy would definitely be on the lookout in the industry... Screenplay by Raja and Subha is the real backbone of the movie, a script that has carved a niche for itself.... Definitely a remake material, but this time Raja is on the creator side... Jayam Ravi has done his role with the needed perfection and precision and has groomed his skills multifold... Nayanthara, the female lead has better things to do in this movie than just dancing to the tunes and add to the glamour quotient... Thambi Ramiah, playing the father/politician role, puppeteered by Arvind Swamy, provides the comic relief just in right dose.... There is a big conspiracy behind small crimes, which are perpetuated to cover-up the bigger one, is the tag line of the story and the hero goes on to reveal the big picture of the organized crime syndicate and its mastermind... The success of the director lies in perfectly balancing the role of the clever villain and cleverer hero and I hope Raja had done justice..... a movie not to be missed on the big screen and worth your 120 bucks.....
