I would rate 3/5...too much gun fights could be avoided...Premji was not impressive...expect two songs, others are average...can watch the movie for one time for Arjun and Ajith..as the reviewer said most of the scenes are predictable except climax..

Value for money!

This film is a lot better than some of the craps that I have seen of late! In fact it could have been a better film if a couple of songs (the one with Ajith & Trisha - Bin Lada and Balla laka) were removed and some portions of Premji (he is irritating at times) needs to be trimmed. Having said this, Ajith rocks and his screen presence is amazing. No wonder he has one of the best openings for all of his films, including those that have bombed. And the climax is not that predictable as the critic points out.

I agree with you Vinod.. it is not a bad film.. Pavithra is being a little too critical..perhaps an overdose of watching too many films off late.. take a break..

the critic sounds too silly and also too depth..critic must see the movie in a casual way and then comment wat he feels..but pavithra didnt see the movie...she says screenplay is messed...its blunder..all r happy with the screenplay..padam paakkumbodhu purinjaa podhum...after coming out from the theatre no logical questions...its a superb movie

The movie is good .It lacks importance for the screenplay. Ajith has made us to forget all that is messed up in the movie by his style and acting

"If you're a veteran of heist movies, and especially our own mass-masala movies, you should be able to guess the climax within the first ten minutes of the film.
" . I have watched the greatest of Heist movies from Rififfi , The killing , The italian job(old version) to the run of the mill ocean's eleven/12/13 and many others. And no. i could not guess the Final suspense. *spoiler alert* . How could you have even envision Arjun to take up the role he did. 9/10 persons would have never guessed him do what he did. His casting by the director is brilliant. I agree there are lot of flaws in the movie. Too many fancy stuff and as usual VEnkat Prabu manages to engage himself in pointless humor and the songs were Godawful. But the movie easily scores a 3/5 in my book. Maybe you are either prejudiced or trying to be a harsh critic. V.Prabu has improved slight bit. Fact.

Venkat Prabhu has missed the screenplay whereas Ajith has made us forget all those that lack in the movie. watch the movie 2 times so u will like it..
