The movie is brilliant. I feel really blessed to have lived in the same time as Kamal. The movie has a much deeper message beyond all the expensive action sequences. We all know Kamal is a brilliant actor but his brilliance in screenplay, dialog and direction shows in this movie. There is a sequence in which Kamal attempts to push Omar's kid over a swing and the kid (who wants to be a doctor not a terrorist) chides Kamal saying he is not a kid. However Kamal finds a young Jihadi though considerably older willing to play with the swing, showing how innocent kids are being brainwashed by the terrorists. This shot itself shows the director's touch right there. But Kamal exceeds this feat in a couple of shots later. The young kid who plays with the swing kills himself in a suicide bomb attempt. When Kamal reads the news item and walks through the Afgan village he sees another kid in a swing. I doubt many will watch movie closely to see this directorial brilliance.
Folks should see this movie very closely as the plot is implicit at places. There is no punch dialogs or explicit narration of the plot. This is a clear attempt to lift the standards of tamil movies to another new level. It is disappointing to see the Tamil Nadu (TN)government making this such a tough road for such a great artist. HE IS JUST BORN AT THE WRONG TIME AT THE WRONG PLACE. Instead of celebrating such a great artist we make it tougher for him. What a pity!
I bet everyone will be talking about Kamal's feminine mannerisms and the great action sequences. But the movie is much more that just those.
Couple of suggestions to Kamal sir. 1. Make the songs available in Itunes 2. After a month or so make the movie available in sites like Amazon Prime and Vudu . I bet that he can get all his money back and more even the movie is not released in TN. It will be TN's loss not his.
