A political thriller which have all the fit elements with unexpected twists .Watch it and you will love it .
Movie Marathon V.3 # 196
After the debacle of Thodari and Thangamagan, Ace Actor Dhanush is back with the powerpacked performance in directorial venture of R.S. Durai Senthil Kumar.
The Story revolves around the twin brothers Kodi and Anbu, their lives, love interests and their fight against a toxic Mercury dumping factory in the township.
Dhanush's performance was top notch. He was too brilliant in both characters. Trisha, WOW, she delivered her career best performance. Dubbing was the only negative in her performance. Anupama who .debuted in Premam was the real surprise for me that she acted out in ease. Karunas, though in a small role, but was good. Sharanya, as usual a good mother character was an easy job.
The movie had some clichés but the story and screenplay was engaging. Durai did an excellent job in narrating this story. The first half was good with romance, comedy and some action and turns into a serious one in the second. Santhosh Narayanan's Background Score added spice to this flick. Songs were hummable and the background score was really apt to the play. Action Choreography fared well. Camera-work, Lighting all worked well ..
All in whole, an above average and engaging Political Thriller with mesmerizing performances from Trisha & Dhanush
My rating 7 on 10

An average attempt.The movie is just an entertainer with some romance,family, comedy and tragedy.Eventhough, i didnt like this film!
So going into this film I had no expectations, since I've heard a bunch of mixed reviews for it. Also I thought it would be filled with cliches, but I liked how the comedy in this at the start was not corny but actually funny. Also with most dual role films, there are not a-lot of discernible differences between the different characters played by the same person in tamil movies, but here Dhanush did a really good job playing both a mild-mannered professor and Kodi, the politician. Also Trisha did a great job. That said, there are a few cliches, but it was still way better than I thought it would be. This a really good political thriller and felt very fast paced! The songs were really good too.
