Review
Great that you watched the film... Only plus in the movie is Vishal acting.. Let it be his look or voice modulation or his sitting style... He rules.. Other side, I dont think GK [highness] acting is very great [except few scenes like where he has clash with Arya and asks him to go out]... Bala was once saying that GK performance will be talked close to Sivaji's performance.. After watching the movie, I dont think Bala is true.. GK's performance is good, but not comparable or even near to Sivaji in acting aspect. Just think of Sivaji's performance in "Mudhal Mariyadhai" or the classic "Devar Magan".. That is what I call "performance".. We cannot see the charector anywhere out of the film.. But here i can see GK "acting" in many scenes. Quite not natural. I would rate the Pithamagan villan [ganja dealer] acting more than GK's performance. He was natural and excellent.
Another hope i had in the film was RK [villan]. First few scenes he appeared, his mannerism and look was classic.. But later he was just portrayed one other villan and beaten to death. Very bad on Bala.

One main thing missing was "story".... Earlier films of Bala had a very good story-line, let it be sethu or pithamagan or naan kadavul.. They had a very strong and appealing story line.. But here the story is completely missing.. Like Siva said, just few scenes tied around with comedy factor.. Bala could have given a strong warning to audience for not to expect too much out of this..
Annoying Scenes
1. Ambica fight with her sakkalathi... Lengthy..
2. Arya's scene with GK after Vishal gets appreciation from Surya
3. Love between Vishal and Baby... [in one review, they asked about how such girls love Vishal like charector]
4. Arya - tried to be like Surya in pithamagan.. but failed.. but he can feel happy about acting in Naan Kadavul.. Thats his masterpiece.
No Logic
1. Judge granting Arya to use his Car
2. Police releasing Arya/Vishal even after they messed up with three departments
3. Heroines loving Arya/Vishal like charectors
4. Villan RK running such a business is not known to GK/Police/Bluecross earlier
Kodumai
1. GK clad off and getting beaten by RK
2. Police Inspector giving treat [Briyani] to old accused..
3. The fat little boy always speaking
Paavam
1. Both the heroines
2. Audience
What the hell
1. Story line
2. Need for heroine and two hero's
Why Bala messes up with
1. Christianity - even in naan kadavul pooja goes to church - atleast that has some meaning, but here the church scene makes no sense
2. Islam - Questions kurbani?.. on why blue cross fails to stop transporting camels for killing in this function..
Leeenghty
1. First half
2. Arya/Vishal performance after seeing GK hanged
3. RK killing GK
4. GK getting insulted by forest officer
Comedy
1. Police as usual... comedy pieces [Don't we have a inspector who can get the s*** out of such thieves]
Music
1. Nice BGM
2. First song [Vishal intro]
Plus
1. Vishal performance
2. Camera work [Rain Scene, Climax fight]
3. RK's performance during his intro
4. Intro song for Vishal
5. GK performance after his clash with Arya [before he goes to their house in rain at night]
6. Ambica at times..
Vulgar
1. Ambica scolding Arya
2. GK clad-off [The scene was more embarassing than sympathetic]
3. Vishal asking Baby about zip in pants...
Good thing
1. No psycho charector like other Bala films
2. Movie ended in 2.3 hrs
3. OC cinema sponsored by Siva
4. Popcorn sponsored by Mahesh?
Looks like
1. Sequel of Pithamagan
2. Copy/Paste of his different works
Same old style
1. Vishal resembling Pithamagan vikram
2. Heroine's friend opening up geometry box using her mouth
3. Both the heroines acting like "pappa's".. arent they matured?
Could have been best
1. Crisp scene in first half - reducing the comedy part
2. Portraying RK more RAW.. - Climax not worth the build-up given to him
Expectation
1. Even if it takes two more years, Bala should think of an off-beat film like Pithamagan or Naan Kadavul.
Rating - 2.5/5
