    Appreciation for its Unique Message

    Chiranjeevi's performance needs no description, he's Absolute. Personally i wish, should have taken care with his hefty appearance. Trisha is cute, though nothing much to contribute performance wise. Khushboo performed sentiment and seriousness well. Sarada acted vivaciously in mother's role.Prakashraj is good, so is sunil. Especially Murugadoss has to be appreciated for coming up with a nice script (with chiru).

    Rather looking at the small errors in the screenplay or for impossible climax stunt or insufficient graphic work in 1-2 scenes or limited entertainment in the movie - I LIKED THE MOVIE FOR ITS SENSIBLE MESSAGE. Just felt like, something can be done to save or keep going the positivity left out in the society at least by following the method/message given in the movie. Afterall, this is what at least we can do for being born as humans and try leave a better world or society for our fellow juniors who are yet to born. It takes a sentence/line to turn-down the impressions altogether, but needs a heart or at least humanity to spread such messages. I consider this movie a worth watch for every citizen for its unique message. But unfortunately i fear, 'poison works faster than medicine'. Lets C.

    Poor execution

    This movie could have been made better!!! Stalin was released with great expectations,but could not live up to the mark. The reason is simple. No planned execution. I would definitely appreciate Chiranjeevi for taking up this role,no mistake from Chiru at all but from MurugaDas. This movie has a lot of wasteful characters like Trisha, Sunil etc. They make the story lose pace quite often. Chiranjeevi's performance is good. He fits the storyline. He could have opted for a better director.

    When I saw this movie's posters. Chiranjeevi looked amazingly good. But he seemed to have put on lot of weight on screen. He should do something about it. Either He should take care of himself or stop acting in younger roles.

    liked it...but could've been better technically....

    This movie was fairly good but i personally felt that A.R. Murugadoss could have come up with a better story (the basic plot was lifted from Pay It Forward) or something more original. like what he did for Tagore.

    Positive aspects:

    -Chiranjeevi's performance

    -decent message for audience

    -Sunil's performance at climax

    -The way Chiranjeevi killed bad guys when they kidnap his nephew

    Negative aspects:

    -Music (was very average)

    -Trisha (she looks like his daughter or something)

    -basic plot being lifted from Hollywood film

    -the last fight (looked very corny and illogical)

    -uneccessary usage of weird camera angles

    -Choreography (nothing we expect from a great dancer like Chiranjeevi)

    -some dialogues (sound hackneyed and old-fashioned)

    -Chiranjeevi's costumes/wardrobe (look like the ones from Tagore)

    On a whole, its a decent flick but watch it without any expectations!
