Antagonist: Johnny Nguyen -> Dong Lee
Plot:
Story revolves around Subha, a genetic engineering student and Arvind, a worker at Bombay Circus. Arvind is a Descendant of the legendary Bhodi Dharma, who lived during the 6th Century AD. As per the story, Bhodi Dharma is an exceptionally skilled fighter and a Medic. Subha's theory is that the DNA SAMPLE of a person contains the MEMORY STRANDS OF THEIR ANCESTORS. If this thesis sounds oddly familiar to you,then you have played Assassins Creed.. The basic plot is derived from the EPIC video game series. Subha's main aim is to perform a genetic experiment on Arvind and to revive Bhodi Dharma's skill once again. She submits her thesis to various countries. Apparently,China is being a bad girl and is plotting to wage a bio-war against India. They get shocked on seeing Subha's thesis and send Dong Lee to carry out OPERATION RED to make sure that Bhodi Dharma's truth remains uncovered. The fate of the country rests on Subha's research and how she does it covers the rest of the story.
Rating:
Plot:
The plot is derived from Assassins Creed and the Tamil movie "E".. having said that,it has been modified to suite the Tamil audiences and if you have not played the game,then the concept is something absolutely new to you.
i would rate this as 5 on a scale of 10.
Presentation:
Being a SCI-FI movie, its not too technical so that even the rural people can understand the story plot. Hats off to Murugadoss for this as it is very difficult to make a sci-fi story understandable as well as to keep it a bit technical.
i would rate this as 7 on a scale of 10.
Music:
Harris Jeyaraj has done his fair share of work for the music. The songs are melodious and the choreography stands out as well.Surya rocks the stage with his facial expression and Shruti Hassan looks more cute than ever.
I would rate the music as 8 on a scale of 10.
Acting:
Surya has done a decent job in this movie. The part where he portrays himself as Bhodi Dharma is Awesome. Shruti, being her first Tamil film has done a good job. But for me,the best actor in the film is Johnny Nguyen. His acting is flawless.His Action Sequences are perfect and he has done a great job in the scene where he controls the minds of the police men.
I would rate this as 6 on a scale of 10.
Verdict:
7 Aum Arivu is not your everyday commercial entertainer.Having said that,the movie fails to leave any remark on you when you leave the screen. The movie has a good plot supported by actors and its background music,but could have been taken well. Overall,its a entertaining venture and is definitely worth a single watch!!!
Score: 6 ON A SCALE OF 10.
