Finally i am here .. I did not read prev reviews & opinions..so lemme give u my POV on the movie.
Frankly I like mafia, underworld genre of movies.. RGV movies, Coppola & Tarantino flicks i love..so U can see that I am not squeamish about blood bath or generally dark movies. 😆 Infact I like the way a person due to circumstances takes the dark path and a good director can show the pathos & decent of a human being who is sucked into abyss of all sins.
Selvaraghavan ...took me by surprise when I first saw his Kadhal Kondein ..It did show the dark side of pedophilia in an orphanage & the way the protagonist is scarred by the abuse & death he saw in child hood.
Pudupettai ( and Egmore area) was shown realistically IMO. Living in T.Nagar & R.A puram most of my life...I did hear from my friends and have witnessed such ruffians when I have gone in that area. Pudupettai is not considered a safe area in good families. This movie did attempt to show a slice of life realistically.
Dhanush...my only complain that he is too thin 😕 ...did show the person who by chance gets hooked into dark side in order to survive & slowly grows egoistic as his power grows. He turns literally into an animal .
The surprise package for me was sneha. It was very gutsy of her to take a prostitute's role . She was infact very popular & sought after in Tamil & Telugu then.
Sonia ( SR's fav and who acted in his every movue then..his muse 😆) I was never impressed..Other than looking pretty the lady could never act ... Her disgust at the hero & the way she avenges him at the end was very powerful.
...More later 😃
