A completely disappointing experience and an absolute waste of time. This movie is not worth any single paisa or a minute of your time.
Movie seems to have a very thin and completely mishandled story line. The director is completely confused, the actors lost and the audience awaiting to see "THE END" (But end up seeing a disappointing note that a sequel is likely to follow.
"how ca rediff rate such movies as 3.5. I wonder if its an independent opinion or an influenced rating.

THIS movie all about srilankan issue. tiger(chola)-LTTE(Ellam) parthiban char-prabhakaran remachen trap- signalis trap karthik(one in thousand savior of eelam tamil)
Movie was excellant. Second half was very violent and blood still selva tried something different. Actauly its LTTE - Srilanka issue indirectly selvaragavan showed. Parthipan as Prabakaran excellent but real hero is Karthi who gets all claps. also this movie is not for family audience.
After watching the trailer, I did go to the movie with very high expectations, but sorry to say i was extremely disappointed. The fact that the movie was completely illogical is one thing, but the main drawback is that in the second half the story doesn\'t move at all. Maybe Selva thinks that too much of blood and sex will make his films run, but he needs to understand that it\'s the story which is the backbone of any movie and this is where this movie fails completely. There is no story.
And yeah, please don\'t take children or family to this movie. If possible, avoid this and spend 3 hours doing something more productive, like sleeping! At least you won\'t waste money on tickets.

i ve few doubts.. 1. in the end chola king shows his love to his people like self sacrificing with a knife but didnt do.. but during his intro he brings camel meat and doesnt give to any rather hits many people.. actually wat were those? im damn confused? wat hapnd to karthi at last? is he past or present then?? can any put the complete stroy line.. movie is good but no connections nor clarity... unnecessary scenes to make people more mad...
Can a movie be utterly random, crappy, bloody, gory with not the slightest hint of meaning? This one is. If you are a Tamil, you better avoid it - otherwise this is the crappiest you can ever see in your life and incredibly random, vulgar and gory with no iota of sense.

When I saw the title and the cast, thought it must be a good movie, never had any idea, it was not meant to be watched with family, half the time we were looking down, even sci-fi/vampire/ghost English films would not go to such extent, when you embrace vulgarity, it surely means you do not trust the story, and that is what this movie all about, no strong story to grab your attention, so they have added these vulgar scenes, so at least a part of the audience interested in such things will go and watch, to be honest, since most people watch a movie based on friends/acquaintance's opinions, I think the first set of people will be the last to watch this. Just learn from such films made by others, like "The Mummy - Part I and II" though they were horifying to some part, were a bit decent, you should strictly allow only above 18 to watch, poor kids may be terrified of the violence and all. I do not think they will even get any award for this is dedignification of tamil culture, on the same chord Kamalahasan's Dasavatharam was class with regards to the depiction of old age feuds and all. Hope family people and children are warned against watching this violent vulgar movie!!!!!

I went to see this movie after seeing the trailer and with high expectations. But it proved to be a case of misguided script
There are a thousand holes. Can any one who saw the movie explain the following
1) What is the purpose of the expedition 2) Can anyone go to Vietnam,as said in the movie, or any other country, with arms & ammunition and shoot and kill the natives 3) Why are the natives attacking the expedition 4) Why are various types of obstacles created to stop the expedition 5) The natives & Cholas are shown as Cannibals - is it believable. 6) Every now and then spome sparles and charges are shown what is it supposed to do ?? 7) In middle of nowhere the army man calls some one and immeditely troops are coming to foriegn country by air !!! ............
If you are not intrested in good storyline , logic or screenplay but only want to grand war scenes like they do in Hollywood and pat on your back that Tamil movies = Hollywood then oyu must support this effort and watch this movie. Dr.K may even award it as the "Best Film of 2010"

This is another Hey Ram (Kamal Hassan Movie) which didnt reach the public just bcoz it was not narrated in a Proper Way,And the screenplay doesnt do any justice for the hard work putin by the entire crew..Happless and Wordless movie,Which is gona a be taken out of the Theatres in 3 days.. I really feel sorry for Selva and the Production Team,Better luck next time,But forget about this Bad dream.In an Interview Yday,Selva said he's watched the Movie more than 50,000 times,But really he is the only person,Who's got nuts to do it..But Not Audience...Thank You
