Imagine a cop, who keeps a SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable (?), Realistic, Time bound) goal to demolish one bigwig criminal in his lifetime and secretly maintains a R&D center to study the latter. He has a skill developed since his childhood to read media news between the lines and strongly believes every small-time crime news item appearing has at its back hidden an organised crime. His skills of reading between lines, connecting the dots & of course the never dying passion, brings him into the battleground with one Siddarth.
Also imagine a criminal, who plans more on covering himself from the crimes he masterminds, than on the crime itself. He is one helluva opportunist, who takes birth in a minister's car with the siren on, does an unimaginable cease of an opportunity at age 15, and controls the powerhouse of politics, business and research together through his allies and alas, he is a renowned scientist. His smooth flow gets perturbed on one Dec. 10, when his plan to discourage announcement of generic drugs by a swiss pharma owner lady gets deviated for a while, and he is in the battleground with our cop Mitran.
Thani Oruvan is likable for every aspect of it. I generally judge a Director's capacity in creating the unique personality for his characters and ensuring the character maintains the same throughout the plot. M Raja & SuBa get 5 star on this aspect. The way the traits of both Ravi & Aravind are etched and maintained through shows the efficiency.
Aravind Swamy (of Roja fame) is a real discovery in the role of Antagonist (or should we say, the protagonist? I wonder, why not?). He will actually make us like the villain of the movie more than the hero. Quiet a contrary. The crisp & slow delivery of simple, yet powerful dialogues between him & his father (played by Thambi Ramayya) are treat. Of course, Ravi & Nayantara have done their best as usual. Never loses curiosity. No loopholes in the story. No mediocrity in production values. Limited but essential use of CG. Lot of research has gone in to connect current affairs to hypothesis.
In conclusion, its not everyday we get such treat from Indian movie makers...get yourself feasted...
