Movie Overview
After many months of sky-high expectations, fits and starts and nerves tingling with anticipated pleasure, comes A M Rathnam's flashy Tamil venture, produced with state-of-the-art techniques and freeze frames that promise to dazzle you. That promise, at least, they manage to deliver.
While Chinna (Prakashraj) rattles the city as goon extraordinaire with a heart of gold, there strides into the picture, Sekar (Vikram) the man with muscles of iron and a heart full of none but Chinna himself -- he even has the man's name tattooed on his chest. Thalapathi, anyone?
A sharp, slick little flashback in Rameswaram -- young Sekar captures your heart as he slowly but surely begins his hero-worship -- sets the tone, and you settle down to enjoy their adventures. Together, they manage to rattle the bad guy -- known reverently and fearfully as Periyavar (Raghuvaran, spluttering and mouthing cliches throughout), who proves to be a surprising muff when it comes to trapping the Chinna-Sekar duo.
Sekar, who, even before Chinna gives a signal, crashes through his opponents with bare fists and blocks of wood with inimitable style, makes his mark as a supremely violent and mean-fisted thug.
Along comes Charu (Trisha [ Images ]), the peppy college sprite who encounters Sekar in his full villainy glory, fuzzy beard and all -- and falls for him. She follows him around, pokes bubbles in the air, sings a few songs and then, when he points his gun at her, disappears for a brief while to let the gang pick up the story again.
Running around Chennai with automatics in full view has never been this good. Shades of Kaakha Kaakha flit by your memory as close-cropped police officers plan an ambush. Naturally they end up groaning on the floors while Sekar, the one-man Bheema who single-handedly holds up the Chinna gang in the midst of opposition from Periyavar and the new Commissioner (Ashish Vidhyarthi in a tiny role that's a throwback to Dhil) walks away victorious.
