6/10
Not the best!

Warning: Spoilers
It is not a crime to rip off movies into Tamil and Hindi.But what is loathsome is the inept "Indianization" of the movie.It is commendable that Director Murugadoss has even thought of bringing Memento to the Tamil audience but did it need such a loose script to hopelessly adapt it for the mainstream moviegoers of the state?

The movie starts off taut enough.Suriya,the lead actor,seems to be making the right moves in choosing the projects he associates himself with.But in spite of what he might want to hear,it is his billionaire character that easily outshines the truculent amnesiac in the movie. The second half of the movie fizzles out with the bollywood imported villain(the director really is childish with his double acting stunts)and Nayan Thara(in obscenely ill-fitting attires).

The music is surprisingly good.Harris Jeyaraj,unlike the Director Murugadoss has actually put in some effort to get his scores right.Watch the movie if you want to.I'd definitely not recommend it.
