Billa disappointed me !
by Karthik Chandrashekar on Dec 17, 2007 12:08 PM

I dont want to write a full fledged review here but ..... The film is very stylish. Every frame is an art by itself. Nirav Shah's experiment with two shades (black and white) for the cast has definitely worked. The music is good, though loud at times. It definitely is a trend setter in Tamil Cinema. BUT.... there is a subtle suspense all through the movie (even when Ajith tells Prabhu before the My name is Billa song...."Sir as usual Billa will escape" )and if the movie had ended with a slight twist in the tale (a la DON '06) it would have surely matched the hype. But nontheless this is definitely a money grosser and will take Nirav Shah places !

Throw

I haven't seen the movie yet, but logically if someone throws something, human mind have checks that to make sure it won't hurt them. The six may be looking to make sure that Ajit don't throw a grenade.

'Nandhu Sundaram' may need to learn more.

Well said Sam.... I have seen very very few movies with absolute logic. Well, if people can accept "Armageddon" as a movie with logic (the hero and crew land on an asteroid travelling towards earth at a million miles an hour...hahahaha), then there is no point debating about "no logic" in tamil movies.

To Mr. Nandu Sundaram quote Vishnu Vardhan's film suffers from stupidity. Then what about Shankars Sivaji.

Why do six men, all of them trained to kill, look up at a can when they have the most dangerous man in Malaysia in front of them?

Then what about Rajnis Sivaji man. If you accept sivaji why not this one? So you are biased.

When Rajni can do anything, anyone can do everything. He is not a GOD.
