actually the film's ending does not make sense to me, how all of a sudden manisha generates her feelings towards him and ready to die forgetting her mission..this does not happen in real life and this is where a great filmmaker like MANI RATNAM missed the mark. though the killing of both the main characters seems justified but the outcome was hollow
in Roja when the terrorist pankaj kapur lets the hero go his way, u can see the character development throughout the whole film and u can see that he emphasizes with the hero's character and that's how it really worked well.
But Manisha's performance was rock-solid no doubt, she stole the show, she's natural and inhibits a great performance. can't believe KAJOL was the original choice for this film, she would have messed it up.
