    Top Notch Outstanding Performance by Suriya Sir

    24, One of the India's exceptionally crafted has turned the Film Industry equal to Hollywood. Excellent Screenplay, Excellent BGM, Excellent Cast. Last but not least, watch this in theatres for Suriya sir because his role as a villain is amazing and you would literally love a villain for the first time. Hats off to the Director Vikram K Kumar sir for this beautifully crafted film. There would be some scenes which may test the viewers patience and some scenes which would really take you into the movie......Go in with zero expectations and come back with full of satisfaction.....After a year from Masssss....Suriya is back n 3 forms....Dr.Sethu, Mani and the best of all, Athreya The Bad......!!!

    Worth the TIME!!

    Vikram K Kumar is the real hero! All his work in making such a detailed script has payed off.

    The screenplay will be slightly hard to digest for the commercial movie lovers! But I loved the way he penned the screenplay. The Romantic part is well combined with sci-fi part, so it was very engaging and enjoyable one.

    Greatest comeback for Surya! If it's Theri for Vijay, it's 24 for Surya! He just basks the whole movie on his back and delivers a great performance! Aathraya role needs special mention as he literally steals the show with his sleek villainous role.! Watch out!

    ARR silently keeps the flow of the movie with his BGM and you won't get disturbed unlike others. The Art direction and cinematography completes the visual cycle beautifully! Special appreciations to them!

    Every character is given its own importance. Was waiting for such a sci-fi thriller in Thamizh cinema that has very good detailing that it takes some time to get a good look into it completely!! Although it's on the lines of Indru Netru Naalai, 24 is the movie to watch out, purely for its screenplay! Aathraya - highlight of the whole movie! Must watch in theater!!

    As it's a sci-fi in Thamizh, 9/10!!!!

    Best SCI-FI ever from India

    As a doctor who fan, I thought the time traveling elements in the show could one day be matched in Tamil film industry. This movie came very close to it. Excellent writing and acting pave way for a new darling for critics. I really liked Surya's Psychotic killer role than his other two. As the negatives, I could say the romance and songs killed my mood multiple times. Songs are pure time dragging (Yes I know it is ARR). But I do understand the need for commercial elements. They should have released a shorter version of the movie in oversees without all that romance crap for the international audience. Overall, this movie is gold and the best ever from the actor we all admire. My rating would be 8.4/10

    A must Watch Movie for Sci-Fi & Thriller movie Lovers :)

    A must watch movie for those who love Sci-Fi and Thriller.Credits goes to the Actor Suriya and the Director Vikram K Kumar they have done excellent Job. Vikram's (Director) Experiment '24' reached successfully to the audience. Nithya menen was perfect for the role so as Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Once again saranya gave her best performance in this movie. yes I am a Fan of AR Rahman's Music but little disappointed for this movie (personal Opinion).

    Plus Points of the movie

    1) Suriya's Acting 2) Vikram K Kumar's Direction and Screenplay 3) Innovative Story Line 4) Best Editing 5) Back ground Music (BGM)

    Minus Points

    1) Songs ( Felt Boring )

    Over all a Big Thumbs Up for this Movie, I recommend you to watch :)

    We ( Indians ) should encourage (Director's) Talent.

    Wasted opportunity but refreshing to watch.

    I had some high hopes with 24 (2016). But I was disappointed with it. I was expecting some paradoxes in the movie, some sort of predestined event that was inevitable, but nothing was there to wow.

    Perhaps happy ending made it bit boring. Could have been certainly better. Character of Sathya (Played by Samantha) felt useless and that character had little to no major affect on storyline. The reason for rivalry between the Brothers (Athreya & Shiva Kumar) is not mentioned in the movie. I expected more from this movie especially with Time Travel concept. Movie is average just because concept is new doesn't make it any better. My rating would be 6.5.

      Suriya who is famous for doing stunts without body doubles risked his life by jumping from a running train which is 90+ feet high.
    • Goofs
      During the first time travel experience, Mani travels back in time thrice. But we can see the clocks in his shop showing different time even though he returns back to the same time, i.e., a clock showing 5.50 didn't show the same even after Mani returned to the time period.
