Its been 4 years since people saw a live action movie from Thalaivar and of course the expectations will be high when he joined hands with K.S.Ravikumar. The duo has almost given a pukka movie this time. Thalaivar fans will almost love the movie in which Thalaivar's charisma and style carries the movie on its shoulder.
Positives: Thalaivar! He is a big plus in this movie. No one could have done this role. People wont accept any other person in this role. As Lingaa, he brings in never seen charisma and his usual style at ease. As Raja Lingeaswaran, he brings in the ambitious thoughts of an anger Indian who wants to do something for his country.
Sonakshi Sinha - She proved language is no bar. Very wonderful depiction of a young naughty local village girl. She is a very big plus indeed.
Indianea vaa song will be loved by everyone for its picturization, the story it tries to tell and of course ARR's voice.
Dialogues are very crisp and sharp. Makes the movie watchable till the end.
Costumes are very good as its important to show Thalaivar in some never seen before costumes which suits his style.
Things which could have been better:
The climax clearly shows the hurry in which the team worked in order to release it on Thalaivar's Birthday. It is good but the scene has some poor MGR period's graphics and stunts which almost takes us to tollywood.
BGM - Though it is good at some points, it clearly shows the BGM to has been done in a hurry. ARR could have concentrated more on BGM. It let down some scenes.
Anushka has scope for acting but she was used merely for glamor and nothing else.
Many characters have no base stories to come up so that we can believe them and some are over-reacting. They change sides quickly without deciding.
Placing of En Mannavaa song is almost like a normal typical commercial movie where you pack 1-2 songs unnecessarily.
If not for the climax, My Rating will be 7/10.
Watch it for our Thalaivar!
