    An interesting movie

    The story contains a typical essence of Vijay's movies. But M.Raja has a technique to make people sit on their seats and make them not move their eyes of the screen.

    Yes, the movie is good to watch and the story is also nice. I don't know why, but this movie reminded me of the popular video game "Prince of Persia".

    Genilia plays a vital role and appears to be her best performance yet. I have no idea why Hanshika was casted in this movie. She has no connection to the story what-so-ever, except for glamor. Saranya Murugan's role is to be acclaimed. Santhanam does have a good role to play. As I said, hats off to M.Raja for casting. But he could haver thought twice about Hanshika.

    Overall, the movie is thrill/action/comedy/romance packed journey. Guaranteed entertainment. My rating is 7/10.
