From the reviews , I knew it wasn't a typical Rajini movie with all its usual non-sense. I wanted to see the man do a role which has some acting scope . After seeing the latest teasers making the rounds , I thought it might be worth a watch.
Pleasant surprise , the movie was in fact quite good until the last half hour. The movie had a nice story line of a old-Don looking for his long lost wife and child , whom he presumed dead . The emotions of the characters and the acting were quite real, the ladies in the movie were true super stars , flawless acting. The mother-daughter duo were splendid.
I must say this about Rajini. He had acted so nicely and powerfully in some of the scenes. Very appropriate for his age , and what a romantic hero at that age. The style /swag quotient were limited , and just where it was needed. I loved watching Rajini on-screen.
I loved the whole movie, the strong message . I was oblivious to the gangster and drug culture in Malaysia , and the inequality that they are subjected to. If it were indeed true (which I did some some reading / research after wards , seemed to be mostly true) my heart goes out to the Tamil Malaysian people.
Now for the bad/worst part of the movie , the last half hour. The movie should have ended , right after the song Maya-Nadi. After that, it was pure torture. I just couldn't stay in my seat to put myself to watch through that torturous non sense. Which idiot actually thought of such an utterly stupid screenplay. It left such a bad taste on me , I had wished time and again that I had the good sense to leave the theatre after that song. Needless violence , utter stupidity in the last half hour. The last half hour really spoiled the entire experience for me.
Barring this, I think it's a wonderful movie .
