I saw this movie after all the hype it created. And the movie surprisingly turned out to be a good one. The best part of the movie has to be its cinematography. It was simply superb, the credit goes to the cameraman,Arvind Krishna, for making each frame of the film look brilliant. I heard the film was shot in Super 35mm format and that it was the first time that a Tamil film has been shot in that format. Well the end product was mind blowing. The film opens with a bang and the pace is maintained till the end of the first half. The second half lacks in pace though it keeps you occupied. Another good thing about the movie is the editing. The film has been superbly edited and the special effects team deserves a pat in the back for their great work.Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is another bonus for this film, be it the background score or the songs. After 3 hits in a row for writer cum directer K. Selvaraghavan this is going to be another feather in the cap. The film has been compared to the Brazilian flick City of God but is not a remake of that film. The film has truly taken Tamil Cinema to new heights.
