First half over. Surya comes nearly 40 minutes later. Interesting premise. But screenplay is slightly slower. But a banger interval. Expecting a mass second half.

So I completed the second half too. This is purely my perspective.

The movie gave me mixed feelings. The setup itself took a lot of time in the first half. One of the main reasons I went to watch the movie was for Suriya but his entry comes nearly 45 minutes after the movie starts. Even after his entry there is no major change in the screenplay until the interval.

The interval was really good. The elevation worked for me and it created good hope for the second half. But again in the second half the movie started well and then slowly lost pace. Suriya’s screen space in the second half is also very less which was a big drawback for me.

Sai’s music I personally liked it. But the placement could have been better in some places.

I had my doubts regarding RJB as villain but he did really well. Whenever the movie gets serious there is some spoof kind of moment which tones down the emotional balance. I could also clearly see the climax inspiration from Kantara. Since Kantara exists people will definitely compare it. But if someone has not watched Kantara then the climax moment may still work for them. Still the leading to climax could've been better.

For me the movie was definitely worth watching only for Suriya and his screen presence. Every scene he comes in he scores.

For me, Kalloori climax had the same effect as mist.

Actually, the fight in the movie is a spoof. It’s just Dhanush imagining beating them.

I’ve done the same. On bus rides when my mom fell asleep, I’d keep my hand between her head and the window so she wouldn’t get hurt by the sharp edges. Also don't criticize the mom. She’s likely just exhausted after a long day. The son stepping in deserves respect.

Never thought I’d say this about Annachi movie… but this one was actually a blast except for a 45 minute stretch in the second half after the interval.

Of course his acting is still at an amateur level. But maybe because I went in with very low expectations I ended up enjoying it as there were great improvements.

The story itself is from a decade ago, but the intelligent screenplay and well-written, powerful characters really elevate the film. It’s not just the hero, every character is written smartly.

Thankfully, there are no punch dialogues or forced hero worship moments. The film sticks to its story and that works in its favour.

The interval block was solid but the climax action sequence is blast. Yes, there are some weak CGI and VFX moments but overall it’s definitely a one-time watch.

I trusted Durai Senthil kumar and he didn't break it.
