To start off with , im a fan of both rajini n shankar. My expectations for the movie were extremely high going on the points that this was the most expensive Asian movie ever made. With shankar, rajini, ar rahman, i expected nothing short of a magical entertaining movie.
The shock i got when i got to the cinemas to watch this movie was unexplainable. Story wasn't good, music disaster, graphics: maybe the best they could do in kollywood but not worth the money they spent. Rather they spent the money on the songs, they could have spent on polishing the graphics or brushing off the obvious blunders.
Well all i can say is the movie 'could' appeal to local fans in India who haven't really seen sci-fi movies before, but internationally its a disgrace to tamil cinema.
The only positive is, its the first of its kind in tamil cinema, the first stepping stone for the industry into this genre, and i hope they learn from their mistakes.
One thing is for sure, Indian cinema will never reach the heights of Hollywood.
