Warning: Spoilers
A genetic engineering student tries to bring back the skills of a legend of the past in his descent and use his skills to save from a deadly Virus attack.

BodhiDharma - Known to be the " The Founder of martial arts in China " 1600 years ago travels to china from South India after becoming a monk and saves Chinese people from a deadly virus and teaches them martial arts....after 1600 years at present day...China decides to use the same virus to launch a BIO WAR known as OPERATION RED on India keeping in mind that they got Bodhidharma's antidote for this Virus but India forgot about him totally and they don't have any idea about this virus.On other hand Subha (Shruthi Hassan) a genetic engineering student does research on Bodhi Darma and finds his DNA match on present days Aravind (Suriya) working on a Circus...And she tries to bring back the talent of BodhiDharma in Surya(Aravind).So Chinese government sends Dong lee(Johnny Nguyen) to Kill her and start the biological war.Now what happens??? at last does Bodhi Dharma's talent are brought back in Suriya and are they protecting India from this Deadly virus attack???? Is the rest of the story with some good visual effects ,Music Direction and screen presentation.

The music score by Harris Jayaraj is exceptional.

The way the 6th century Chinese village is been brought out in the screen is awesome.

The Visual effects add the perfect flavour to the movie.

Hats Off for the efforts made by Suriya , A.R. Murugadoss and the rest of the crew to put forth a movie making us remember the forgotten legend BodhiDharma.

Overall the movie is a mix up various movies and games we have already seen and played having same biological war plot... If its not for the BodhiDharma's character then the rest of the movie would be too boring with lack of proper twists and suspense which the movie promises but has not delivered it...
