The movie begins as a heist film. The screenplay is fast and the film doesn't waste a lot of time setting up the premise. We are immediately thrown into the heist within the first 20 minutes of the movie.
Ajith's portrayal of the lead was superb. I personally felt he was charismatic and had a dominant presence on the screen. The film had a good build up, until the interval block and I was, to my surprise hooked onto the plot.
That being said, the second half turns out to be just another commercial movie with a social message , in this case the banks being the larger villains and looting people. I personally expected it to be an out and out heist movie but it turned out to be something else entirely. I personally wish it was just that. The music was surprisingly not enticing enough but nevertheless it added a little character to the movie.
The comic relief "mai pa", was fantastic and I wish he had gotten more screen time. Another thing I really appreciate is that the lead had no "Romance" to run after which, I usually find unnecessarily distracting. Not having that element just made the movie all the more enjoyable.
The film is a commercial entertainer and is worth watching in theatres with a crowd at least once.
