It's a beautiful movie I give thousands mark....
இந்த படத்தில் நடித்தது நடிகர்கள் மட்டும் அல்ல, கதையும் தான்...
உண்மை கசக்க மட்டும் செய்யாது, வலிக்கவும் செய்யும்....

Another heavy stuff from Bala.. Close to reality presentation.. Mastero's powerful music..
on

Things that stay in mind even after quite sometime coming out from the theatre..
Varalakshmi's best performance ..dance especially.. lot of energy
Mastero's masterpiece.. especially the climax bgm .. pumps blood and carries the visuals to ultimate reality
The music is a Rudra thaandavam kind.. Evil getting destroyed with such power and energy..
Bala's pack.. too much of cruelity.. beyond limit heart breaking killing..

Bala shows both birth and death a more mentally painful events .. this had been common in all his movies I believe..
Praying for end of birth in this movie too.. Mastero's music and choice of lyrics convey the pain the character's feel in the life.. liberation and end of birth
are felt to be the ultimate solution..
Bala is always brave and bold to convey whatever he feels / sees..
"ini unai pirindhaal kaede".. at appropriate places.. Sooravali has such a love to his mama... a very deep devotion..
But an unusual missed outs in screen play.. Hero's father sings a nice song just before his death this sequence was not perfectly fitting into Bala's way
of presentation.. Same way Hero locates the missing gal just in next scene even though she was missing for few months.

Villain .. another powerful product from Bala..
Too much of pain to make the film close to reality.. Reality remains bitter and hard to digest in Bala's movie..

Missing great words / message from Bala unlike Naan Kadavul on Birth and Death..
May be a commercial compromise..

Expecting great movies from Bala

Theaters should not allow kids and pregnant ladies..
