Finally I guess tamil cinema moves into the shoes of bollywood shooting a major part of the movie in the US of A… but apart from this if at all a fault, the movie is an amazing amalgamation of music, songs and editing… throw in the right cast then you get a super duper block buster…
From the first scene the pace is extremely fast and you get to adjust your sitting posture only during the interval… even then you are cursing the break… kamal plays the role of the super cop with ease… the package is perfect… he is the right portrayal of an experienced confident intelligent super cool cop…
The plot is good, though could have been lifted from any bloody crime novel, and what actually helps it is the delivery… the shots are very fast and the camera does not delve on irrelevant details like the scenery and the buildings… even though it is New York I don’t remember seeing any important locales… even Jyotika somehow seems to blend in instead of acting as a separate mandatory but useless fixture…
The 2 villain boys are great too, playing the psychotic duo with casual panache… cold blood personified… but they are still kids… the precision with which they go about their revenges, even the minor ones, is spine chilling… and the best part is that no reason is given for this hobby of theirs… they just want to kill… scary thoughts…
Kaakka Kaakka and now Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu makes me jealous of police officers… I want to become an IPS officer whenever I see this movie (funny I never wanted to be a superhero though I did watch krissh and superman…) they seem to have all the fun bashing gangsters and shooting them down… and the respect they generate from the people around them… the aura that surrounds them …
I think my sister made the right decision by watching it twice… a great positively silver lining in the grey cloud… really made us feel better for missing the train…
PS. When you want to say something nice about something the words are so less, whereas when there is something nasty, there is a flood of adjectives.
