Positives: good sets and costumes ., best acting from Ishwarya, vikram and jayam ravi Secomd half visuals were awesome . Has managed to make people understand atleast the top level politics happening there Negatives : fact is ,if Mani Rathnam sir wanted to depict Kalki's writing then he should have made this as a series . He has shrunk the content to fit it into the 3 hours limit. This resulted in poor portrait for relationships formed..he has tried to convey more information, relationships just by conversations. The movie' s stunt sequence in the first half ,war sequence fight scenes ...were very poor, Things in this move seem to happen just cause they have to. karthi sir has tried his best to play vandhiya thevan ...but it was lacking .. The depiction of scenes were missing clarity.. Like how the ship caught fire, how vandiya dhevan started following arul but then seperated, things happened just cause they had to.. The movie scripting was poor., Mani sir should stick to his type of movies that involve drama , action is not his cup of tea. Theatricality , drama,... Missing elements...story telling is poor... But all said, i am still expecting to see the second part ...not for the movie just to know what happens. After seeing the movie i just wanted to read the book to know the original version...although ive already read the first book...I should read the entire series before the next release ...or i wont understand ...

good movie, a bit slow in the middle, but the slower parts were important, the peter character is justifiable, but the movie had lots of jump cuts inbetween, conveyed the wright parts, but the ending was confusing on how the other white guy got caught and how the immigrants won the case, the moving being based on racism and the case, it would have been better if they had tied that to the climax. All the philosophical dialogues were good conveyed string messages,
