First of all, this is purely my experience watching this movie. I am, like many other, new to this story and so I guess my experience would be similar to many others who are not a die hard fan of any of the actors/director.
Story 8/10. The way it was built up was clever. I did wonder what on earth is going on during the first half, but gradually got a grip of things and characters.
Songs 4/10. There were far too many songs and to be honest, most were irrelevant. One of the most uninspiring music from AR Rahman & Mani Ratnam duo. Background music was just at par. Nothing exceptional I thought.
Cinematography 4/10. Remember this is a Mani Ratnam film and expectations were high. May be it was my mistake. There were only 2 shots that I thought were outstanding and memorable out of the whole movie. One Vikram killing shot and another when the two beautiful women came face to face.
Acting and effort. 9/10. Everyone acted well. But I just wish if Karthi had put in some effort to shape his body to match like a warrior. Nevertheless, he brought some smiles..
Over all:6/10. Way too many songs and it was just so lagging at times. Cinematography was bit on the below par side as far as I am concerned. Story is only half done and I am not a fan of watching some of it this year and balance next year.
