When people get successful, they will start losing their vision, that’s what happened for prabhudeva .When stars start getting flops there will be no end to that and that’s what happened to Vijay.

What’s your biggest asset?

According to this movie, and many movies in old Bollywood it’s the mother.
‘Mere paas maa hain’ was the dialogue and in Vill this is what happens. Decades ago bollywood had films which put mother as god. Now this film has introduced it back to Tamil film.

The only grace this movie has is Vijay’s charisma.

Nayanthara as in all movies is programmed to act the same way.

This is another version of Pokkiri. Minute by minute content of Pokkiri is supplemented with a new scene having same content.

But pokkiri had some originality, this film just lacks that. This is 100 percent incoherent masala.

Lots of animation has been used in fights and in comedy.

‘If you want to shoot, shoot. Don’t talk’. It’s a classic dialogue. It’s been made into Tamil.

There is a full comedy scene having an animated cow.

Helicopter fight done looks new.

Fights when taken individually are ok, but it’s not what a movie is. Movie is incoherent and lacks pace. It feels like we fall into gutter and getting out to next scene. .

This two and half hour film was a real pain to watch. The first half of film is nearly purposeless. There are many unwanted characters.
Most of the story takes place in Munich.

This story of revenge is packed with songs and fights and everyone knows who is going to win.

All these people have talents, but their hard work, money and time are wasted here.

Nothing much to say. Good fights and songs, average scenes and below average film.

Only diehard fans of Vijay will tell it’s a good movie.
