Performances from lead actors Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Rai and Karthi are fabulous. In reality, Karthi is the precise hero of the movie. He has performed a terrific job.

All these actors are skilled and professionals. So you actually don’t have to speak about how they acted. It is clear that they’re superb. Everybody bought into the pores and skin of their roles. Sarathakumar, Parthiban, Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Nassar and Rehman performed some necessary roles.

Production qualities are large and superb. Mani Ratnam didn’t a go away a stone unturned relating to making the movie at its finest. Screenplay must be a little bit higher to grasp the movement of the story. AR Rahman poured soul into the movie. The background rating runs your entire movie. Costumes are a grandeur and so are the make-up and hair. Everybody is proven superbly and their royal seems are simply fabulous. Action sequences are ‘wow’.

Credit goes to Mani Ratnam who made a movie with a style that he hasn’t touched earlier than, however nailed within the making of it.

WHAT’S NOT

To perceive what is occurring, you’ll take time. To get used to ‘who is who’, after which keep in mind their names, to be taught who’s a ‘Chola’ and who shouldn’t be, you’ll need time. So this movie shouldn’t be all people’s cup of tea. You want to observe it not less than twice to grasp the mythology correctly.

The screenplay and narration may have been lots higher. The first half an hour of the movie goes into the event of the story that not all of us are conscious of.

VERDICT
