One of the best Indian movies ever.
This movie stands several leagues ahead from Indian movies.
Direction:
This deserves special acclamation. The non linear style perfectly suits the story & narration and is executed without any flaws. Even though it's non-linear and starts off in the middle, the screenplay is so well done and easy to understand.
Cast:
Great performances by the cast, and outstanding performance by Parthiban. It's quite unbelievable how Parthiban brings out the small minor details in his acting to perfection, without another director.
Story:
It's a bit of a sad story, the life of a Don, the struggles he went through in his early life and how his evil sins come back to haunt him. It's not a never seen before story, but Parthiban has added a lot of unique elements to his story to keep it intriguing.
Verdict:
After watching this movie, i feel that Parthiban is the best Indian director ever. No one has ever made an artistic movie like this and also make it entertaining and fun to watch. If only this was a Hollywood movie, it would've atleast had a few academy award nominations in Direction, best movie, etc. But, since it's an Indian film, it is considered garbage.
PS: DON'T watch with KIDS. There's a few scenes of nudity and a lot of vile language.
