Sura was supposed to be a big splash, especially with Vijay leading the cast, but instead, it turned into an anchor dragging Tamil cinema down. Directed by S. P. Rajkumar, this 2010 disaster promised action, drama, and heroism but ended up delivering something that felt more like a chore than entertainment.
The story follows Sura, a fisherman with a heart of gold, who takes on a ruthless politician trying to evict his village. Sounds noble enough, right? But somehow, this simple plot ends up being stretched to the point where even the audience feels seasick. With a screenplay that drags on like molasses and dialogue that makes you cringe, Sura doesn't even give Vijay the chance to show off his usual charm.
Let's not forget the action scenes. They're so over-the-top and unbelievable that it's almost like watching a cartoon - and not the good kind. We get scenes of Vijay fighting off villains in the most unrealistic ways, and instead of feeling exciting, they just look absurd. Even the music by Mani Sharma, which could've added life to this mess, falls flat with forgettable tracks that do nothing to enhance the film.
By the time the credits roll, the only thing Sura manages to do is make you wish you'd done something else with those two and a half hours. Despite Vijay's best efforts, this film was a massive letdown, proving that sometimes even the biggest stars can't save a sinking ship.
