Been there, done that! A movie that was total fun. Everything that you would expect from a Shankar + Rajini combo (Not the usual finger flicking Rajini though). Visual effects were one of the best in Indian cinema considering that while a Matrix cost $200 million, this was made for $30 million. And the finale was amazing. Grand and Jaw dropping!
Rajini was amazing and awesome especially in the second half. He portrays the darker shade better. You cant help but remember his iconic role of Alex Pandian from Moondru mugam.One small problem was that the screenplay was sagging at a few places. Some unwanted scenes and a couple of misplaced songs slowed down the pace a little. But Shankar and Rajini make you forget all that
Picturisation of the songs were excellent. All of them grandiose. The dialogues were very smartly written and well executed. Rahman's BGM n re-recording help the narration. Ash does a decent job too. Good thing is that she is not just for the songs. She is in the movie through out.
As for the comic relief, Chitti (Robot Rajini) did a better job than Santhanam and Karunas. But again, I wondered why they were both billed. They had such a small role to play. In a couple of days you will forget that they were a part of the movie.
Shankar's imagination and conceptualization of the idea were laudable.
Rajini completely overshadows his co-stars. His Robot avatar scores on both halves of the movie.
And Rajini can dance.. Man!! He is no Prabhu Deva, but was so nice to see him try so much.
The man and his charisma! The movie is a must watch for everyone, more so if you are his fan.
Who knows this could be one of his last movies if not The last. He and his larger than life character would be sorely missed!
