    I loved this movie's depth, heart, humor, gravitas, action, performances, emotion and payoff.Hats off to both vijay

    Just now watched film!!!Simply awesome!!!Mind blowing performance.Story may god father based but execution was simply superb.I just entered into theater the movie gonna typical political drama & punch dialogues from vijay.It just kicked me off,not at all a single scene related to political,its complete clean entertainer.Vijay performance is awesome.Sathyaraj chanceless performance.Those who say negative about the film just get away,learn to appreciate don't down a person its really awkward.No over hyped scenes for an introduction,really its very normal and awesome.Second half may lengthy but not at all boredom.Overall its a complete family entertainer.Don't miss it!!!!
