I have no words for Mr.Kamal Hassan and Mr.K.S.Ravikumar. The whole movie that lasted for about 3 hours and throughout the movie, it had all the sense and commercial aspects for a general crowd. The combination of two great people can really be seen on screen. Below I have split the movie review into sections.

Acting - Kamal Hassan in an extraordinary talented actor. His ability to separate all the 10 roles portrayed in the movie with their respective accent and body language was his plus point at all time. Each role has its own uniqueness. I personally feel the best roles were The Ex-CIA agent, Chris Fletcher(The White Guy) and Balram Naidu. Kamal Hassan’s ability to portrait as a white man is seriously to be applauded. It had the impression of if Kamal Hassan was a white man, how would he be. Humor is as well no objection when it comes to Balram Naidu. Asin had a good mass in her role in this movie. She was basically appearing throughout the movie as well and added some unforgettable comical scenes as well. 

 
Story & Concept - The story and screenplay was by Kamal Hassan and I assure you that it is a typical Kamal Hassan movie. With intelligence and sensibility put to the timeline is what astonishes me. Being directed by K.S.Ravikumar has added a fuel of commercial aspects into the movie for general public. The story ran on a concept on criticizing the amount of money spent on research for harmful biologically substances that could have been used for many good course. The movie as well indulges itself into one’s faith in God and the power of the Almighty. 

Technical Aspects - Camera man Ravi Varman has done a splendid job. Angles of shots that are simply difficult to shoot was a plus point. Set’s used was marvelous. Especially back in the 12th century where Kamal played the role of an Iyer. 

Graphics - Since the movie was focused on it’s story, I believe not much of attention was given to graphics. The insufficient amount of budget for the Graphics as well was a downside of the movie. The graphics at times were clearly fake. For instance, the tsunami scene and underwater scenes seemed fake. A mercedes benz was looking more of an illusional toy car under water. On the other hand, certain characters of Kamal’s when met had some defects. For instants, no shadows behind the character. But non of the defects caused any serious damage to the movie’s reputation. Probably we could excused this as its probably first in Tamil Cinema where a huge amount of graphics was used and I think the production crew met a budget cutdown on cost. 

Music Video’s - The most notable song would be “Oh Oh Sanam” where Kamal plays as Avtaar Singh, a pop singer who suffers from cancer. The whole shoot of the video was picturised at Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai. Besides that, the end credit song where K.S.Ravikumar and Ravi Varman performed, appeared to be a teaser to Kamal Hassan’s victory.
