Excellent adaptation.

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

i am surprised to see such a fantastic movie in Indian cinema. although the graphics have not been that good at least they tried to be realistic. The plot is wonderful and have dealt with a very good screenplay. The songs in the movie are also good.Reemasen is gorgeous in the movie and andrea too. They looked hot in the song before the intervel. All the action sequences are not bad . The scene with the snakes is OK.But the thing i have not liked in this movie is the ending.everybody in the theatre comes out unsatisfied as the villains are the winners in the movie. If karthi had done something in the climax instead of fighting as he acquires some supernatural powers then i would have been more satisfied. i hope there will be a sequel to this movie which explains this. finally a good movie to watch.

I went to this movie with lot of expectations but I was pretty much disappointed. There are so many goof ups in the movie and so many questions left unanswered or at least doesn't provide a clear explanation, like, has the king got magical powers for he is able to fight Reema by getting hold of her shadow, why do they run crazy when they reach the lost chola city, and Reema too seem to have got some magical powers for she is able to portray a tiger symbol at her back in a flash and is able to fight back the magical saint (or whomever is he) when people were trying to burn them, what exactly happens when Karthik is fighting the big guy in the fight-area organized by king for he cud see people around him as skeletons, at-times they are missing and suddenly our crying Karthik starts fighting like a legend etc etc. Also, there are few scenes in the movie that may seem illogical and unnecessary. Though, I feel, the story is very good, the graphic scenes are very poor. We could see the effects of few Hollywood movies with a poor attempt. The climax is rather disappointing with cholas fighting the army people. We understand the budget is very less, but some scenes could have been filmed in a better way, with the available budget. Some scenes like, Reema and Andrea holding Karthik to fight chillness in forest makes audience enjoy the movie for a short period, until they get puzzled why would something like that happen on another scene or get disappointed by poor graphic scenes.On the whole, I would say this is a very good attempt by the director, and could be a new beginning for Tamil cinema. I feel, a movie of this kind, that has a really good story should be filmed in high budget, rather than filming in a poor budget making the film prone to poor comments and a relatively bad cinematic experience. I would still give this movie a rating 8, for the very good attempt by the director.

Selvaragavan has made a bold attempt in making an historic movie without the usual clichés of Tamil cinemas. I also want to mention that this movie is a complete fantasy and no records suggests the authenticity of the facts mentioned in the movie. As i've established the movie is a pure fantasy there are places in the movie where you are bound to see various clippings from Hollywood movies like the war scene where the tactics were taken from last samurai and also the famous gladiator scene.But apart from that the movie's first half has some awesome visuals and settings which is a revolution in Tamil cinema. The first half of the film while make you sit on your edge and also it is made in an adventure type. But the second half of the movie was ridiculous, first of all showing the Tamil people as cannibals was not good and also there were some silly magic present in the second half. If Selvaragavan would have concentrated more on the cinematography rather than the visual settings the movie would have been a perfect one. There were lots of plot holes in the second half, and as the movie progresses you get irritated in Reema Sen's role and also the director pathetically copy the Lara Croft, yes, thats true. Andrea's character has no real importance and it was totally eliminated at the end. Some scenes were really unbelievable and not in a good way, the scene were Reema Sen's blood poisons the soldiers made me laugh.The most foolish character was the leader of the mercenary team. The Indian army or the mercenaries were just crawling at the end war scene. Apparently the director didn't think about the amount of opposition in just moving a single gun. would sanction the massacre of all those people at the climax war. The guy was not even holding his gun correctly and made a very foolish attempt at the scene were he was wearing a traditional Pandian dress and giving orders. Also I didn't think professional soldiers would behave in that way at the end and this proves that the guys were mercenaries and not the Army. In reality no government would allow the recruitment of mercenary and it is done only as a last resort, but i'm going to let go of this logic as majority of the audience would not notice it.Karthi made a memorable performance at the beginning of the movie but his character was also reduced at the end. Also I think the director had so much confidence in himself, he believed that the movie would be a success and a sequel would be taken later. I'm hoping the sequel would be much better than this.

Hi AO team , This movie is a big surprise to me because i never seen this kind courage and brave in any of the Tamil cinemas. There are mistakes in the movie but he proves that we can imagine more than James Cameron.If he could have got the amount spent for useless movies like Sivaji Kandasamy..... it would be better than all the movies.Selva please take the second part and improve the quality of Tamil cinema.We proud for you.Hats off.by shankar.
