The movie ws excellent. Everybody acted very good in the movie. One of the best movie of Suriya and KV Anand. The movie was so interesting and thrilling. The movie was not at all boring.
Wow!!! What an acting by Suriya, watched it more than 50 times and not getting bored
This was the first suriya movie watched in my life, after which I watched all his movies after and before ayan too . He is the perfectionist in everything. His acting is several times better than so called overrated Thala Thalapathy (not to offend anyone, it's the truth).
Hard to find the versatile actors like suriya. I'm not his fan but a cinema lover and I love his acting

K.V.Anand and Auba were back with Ayan after Kanaa Kandaen (which was an excellent movie which became average hit due to lack of publicity). I have known them through a monthly 'super novel' where Suba(Suresh-Bala) were writers and Anand was a photographer which made them unite in film industry. I was a great fan of them and eagerly waited for this. And they are back with an excellent intelligent movie in which hit was written everywhere Surya plays a role of smuggler (not a serious one) which was characterized superbly and the movie moves in a jet fast with humor, thrill, action at right proportions. Especially first fight sequence was superb challenging Hollywood. Songs which was a slight let down from Harris has been pictured superbly locations mesmerizes us. Tamanna ,Vijay TV Jegan(which was a sweet surprise) , and Prabhu done their parts well. Story revolves around rivalry between two smuggling groups yet it was joyful ride with humor from starting to end. After lot of days i heard clapping in theater from starting to end and everybody came out of theater with smile in face which tells the films victory. We cannot categorize this movie into particular genre like thriller,action,or comedy. It is a new kind of genre with intelligently taken scenes which sometimes surpasses Hollywood and sure it also belongs to super duper hit genre.
I watched this movie quite a few times, just watched it again cause liked it in my childhood and I wanted to know how I would feel about it now.
And it still remained amazing to me how the movie keeps the viewers focused while still maintaining the elements necessary for a full-fledged commercial blockbuster. Of course, there are unnecessary scenes in this like in very movie, but the good scenes outweigh the unnecessary ones in my opinions. All actors (especially Surya and Karunas) were well utilized (didn't like Jagan's character that much though, not for the acting but for how his character was written and he was somewhat predictable for me), the plot wasn't draggy at all, and overall the entire movie just went really smooth.

As Mentioned in the title, if you watch this as a movie it is a great entertainer. But if you expect something and go, you will be disappointed.
KV Anand, has taken Tamil cinema to a new dimension. You can see lot of Hollywood style stunts. Car chase and the fights like Jakie Chan movie.
It seems like Kanal Kannan worked with 2 other Hollywood director to make these scenes.
Congo- Africa, is good. KV Anand has taken time to think and shoot those shots.
He should not have copied Bourne Ultimatum jump scenes as you see on the trailer. He could have done something different.
The movie moves very fast only for the first half, second half kind of repeats everything. I have given my audio review @ http://www.movie.consultmirror.com.
I give 7/10, because of the Songs-Lyrics, Music, Stunts, Flow of the entire movie.
