Remaking a film that had hit the screens thrice before is always a very tough trick and I believe this should be the first time ever.
Few Nice Things: - The Camera is fantastic, surely a revolution in tamil cinema - The locations are superb - Costumes are perfect (kudos: Mrs.Vishnuvardhan) a must mention about glasses... - Nayanthra truly sizzles
The Minuses starts here: - Ajith could have done better, but he neither fits the shoes of Billa nor Rajini - Could have had some care about his pot belly - Prabhu is simply wasted - Nayanthra sizzles but to skimpy for tamil Cinema. I believe she watched Tomb Raider too many times. - Dissolving the character 'Thengai Srinivasan' should have brought a much chilling twist but dissapoints. - Mere shooting down of villain Rahman goes down very low - Namitha could have been replaced by someone else much slimmer - After Ajith do you want to know next highest featuring character of the film. It's Petrona's. Featured in almost all the shots. Name it murder, police activity or even the chat with Velu...the Petrona's is always in the back drop.
Overall...an extravaganza meal but just doesnt fit the need. Care had been given to individual stunts & scenes by Director Vishnuvardhan, But as a total movie the grasp isn't simply there.
Ajith is still fit to take up 'Thee' as his next venture but only if he improves his acting and ofcourse his pot belly.
