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????

not sure if ye remembr me neverthless :) ... abusive language was used to keep in tandem with the reality soroundin us.. and unfortunately that is the truth..but then more imp its a reality tryin to merge with fiction, fact of the matter being we need to walk away after the movie thinkin about the brilliant acting, cinematography and the story to some extent.( not offer does one get a plot like this that keeps you glued) so lets appriciate that. its better to look at the white page rather than the black dot on that. :). we crib about gore and blood on screen and all, the bottom line being we ( WE) do not realize that the underbelly of the movies is a reality worse than wat is potrayed :). the one thing i can understnd is the grading of the movie. positve attitude makes me think at least it was a U/A rather than just a U which would make this evn worse wouldnt it :)
@manoj: I do watch a lot of movies dont i? I should stop at that tho and not become a critic! so one more cop movie huh?.. I'm game!
@deepak: thats amazing optimism. wow. though i'd never agree on the apparent fact that using abusive language is a part of all of us. I know so so many people who actually do still find it , well, Abusive!
Agreed per say. Optimistic. These are not really the things that reach everyone tho, unfortunately.
