"An awful movie, do they think we viewers are complete idiots"

[vishnu-dileep08 · 1/10 · 22 November 2017]

Summary (no spoilers)

The movie is about a local gangster in Madurai who bids adios to his past life. Years later in his late 50s he falls in love with a girl which changes his life.

My Review (no spoilers)

The story line of this movie was of the lowest standards. There was little action here and there but was not impressive. Simbu does a lot of overacting in this movie most of the serious scenes turned out to be jokes. I kind of liked the BGM in this movie. Shriya Saran did not have much of a role in this movie her character was more like her character in Sivaji. Tamannaah did an OK job in this movie. None of the songs of this movie were catchy. It also had a predictable ending.

My Recommendation

No! It's a man-made disaster.

My Rating

0/10

This movie is injurious to your senses! [+19%]

STR still seems to be in a frenzy of wanting to impose his freakish Tamil hero mannerisms on the viewer who has been trying hard not to keep their minds pre-conditioned with clichés and stereotyping and to embrace realism and grey shades in characters. In fact, STR seems to promptly ask his audience to hail him as a 'Superstar'. Why? Because he's apparently executing superstar duties in a film that doesn't have a clue what its purpose of existence is.

Adhik Ravichandran succeeded in entertaining us to an extent in his debut directorial 'Trisha illana Nayanthara' due to its unabashed portrayal of lust. AAA has a terrible screenplay replete with star worship, virgin-guy references, a couple of (acting-free) heroines placed simply to admire the antics of the hero, shoddily written songs and scenes spoofing other films. The only time I (genuinely) laughed was on seeing Mottai Rajendran replicate 'Thalli Pogathey' from STR's previous film.

The movie opens in Dubai but a flashback quickly shifts the scenario to 80s Madurai. Shriya plays Selvi, the love interest of Madura Michael(STR) who is a local thug. She wants Michael to quit being a rowdy and move to Dubai. But things don't fall in place as they expect and Michael lands in jail. An unconvincing sequence detailing his escape from prison is narrated by one of Michael's allies (again in a flashback!) that supposedly serves as the 'mass intro' for its titular lead. Damn, these flashbacks are literally all over the place.

The second half sees Michael take on the identity of 'Ashwin thatha' a dreaded don who the audience never gets to see doing any 'dreaded don things' apart from feeding grain to pigeons at his bungalow in Chennai. A 58 year old Ashwin thatha seeks to woo a ravishing 26 year old Ramya (played by Tamannah) and we are again subjected to scenes portraying oldie STR as invincible (yawn!). The ending is exactly the way you think Adhik would conclude the film. A cameo by GV Prakash Kumar reiterating his 'Trisha illana Nayanthara' dialogues doesn't do this film any good. Monologues on male bonding, brotherhood and virginity still seem to clog writer/director Adhik's vision. May the sequel never happen! Sirrappu!

Bad movie

Worst movie I have ever watched in my entire life! This movie will be the worst movie ever made! Simbu has made the worst choice in his life! No words to the director! May be he should quit direction! I have never given such a negative review for any movie but this one earned it! Will be better if they stop this project with this and do not proceed with the part 2 of this movie!

if you would like self destruct urself, please do it

Terrible movies

[shivamaravind · 1/10 · 11 October 2020]

It was a awful movie.... Really hard to watch. If you are having a good day don't spoil it by watching this trash

Too much Self worshipping (Patting yourself in the back) and hyping is injurious to the Movie

[mailsashidharan-713-142390 · 5/10 · 25 June 2017]

First of all you might wonder why did this Piece of Failure Get 5 stars The reason i gave a Average rating was biased as it actually deserved 3/10 stars or lesser but since i am a fan of Silambarasan i have been generous in my review score and Let me begin this review by saying this one Does satisfy his fans only in parts and few scenes or moments in the movie. and the scenes where the movie shines was very few and far between each other and obviously the movie has No Logic with many infuriating things to the neutral audience and haters of him because there are quite some self glorification right from the beginning when the constable Mottai Rajendran AKA Raju Sings i am a little star i will become a superstar his self glory song written by his Dad .. the cringe worthy glorification continues by the heroine shriya comnparing him with RAJINI, KAMAL and saying Silambarasan is better than them during a scene where they see a movie in theater Showing T rajendar that was so stupid and irritating but many just laughed as it was so funny to see that idiot spouting such dialogues the only few who were irritated were his fans who couldn't laugh at the foolishness of the movie but STR apart from his flaws is quite charismatic if he knows how to control his ego his over arrogance and self glorification , Hypocrisy and if he controls himself

movie will be wonderful like Vinnai thandi varuvaiya... Simbu please keep your weight and acting in a controlled manner anything going uncontrolled will be killed like Cancer remember that Simbu!
