Its one of those movies which cannot be termed as a flop or hit...but to say the fact ,this film is a dragger,Gautam wants to tell about father-son relationship,but he has not made that clear in the movie..he seems to have lost the plot and the father Suriya's character could have been more inspirational.
The film is nearly 3 hours.in a film which goes for this long u should have a tight screenplay.but the screenplay from Gautam is so loose that u would want to leave the Cinema hall before the film has finished.
Music by Harris Jeyaraj is one major plus for the film,although background music is lagging.
Sameera reddy looks stunning during her short stay.Divya is apt for the character given to her.Simran also have given a stunning performance after a long gap.
Suriya, of course. He is nothing short of brilliant and it is no mere flattery to say that he has (while doing this most difficult job of being a father, teenager, young lover, deranged addict and a man with a purpose), simply risen to standards of histrionics far above the rest of the industry. The hurt rage in the underdog schoolboy's eyes; the gleam of love and enthusiasm in the young lover's gaze; the intolerable pain of separation and solace found in hallucinogens; the torturous path back to normalcy; the newfound sense of purpose and meaning; the rekindling of love and passions this time, mature and lifelong; the closure of life's cycle (which is also the beginning of the same cycle for another) all these emotions and nuances have been brilliant portrayed with his eyes and body language; so much so that even if this movie doesn't go on to become a box-office success, his work will be critically acclaimed for a long time to come.
Having all these wonderful performance,Gautam could have used well with a strong story and screenplay.Its seems that he is more confused whether to make this film as a drama or a entertainer.Its very tough even to see the movie once.
