Lately all the movies that i have been watching give me this sense of dejavu.. no no- not memories of having been to sathyam before, with the same gang, but of having seen a similar movie before. There it was don avenging his brother's death, here its a serial passionate, disturbed, psychotic and totally dangerous med student killer with a seemingly gay boyfriend with revenge in his blood. That was fully in chennai, this is in new york, and chennai in parts. there it was surya here it was kamal. There surya loses his wife jo, here ...
The movie had some initial hiccups on the production side, when the original producer Kaja Mohiddeen attempted suicide when he went bankrupt but its a smooth sail now.
Kamal is amazing for his age and at the least doesn’t pretend to be 20-something.. Jo, PrakashRaj(amazing tho), misc barely have a part. Cinematography was amazing and the music real good.
BUT the movie is gory, bloody, disgusting at points. Not to forget the abusive language used in every other sentence. Between you and me, we know we do understand the foul language used, that kids way way younger probably understand it all too. That is no reason why it should be rated u/a. Has the country westernised so much as yet? If it really has, i think i'm just a bit too slow for it.
Ps: whats with director Gautam's love for the name Ilamaran????
