I will admit I was late in catching this film, due to preoccupations- usually, I watch it in the first week if it's the Thalaiva's film. I can't resist it, because of his screen presence and style. The story is secondary, though he has tackled College fees, slum redevelopment, and here, the ill-effects of cell phone towers/radiation.
But the point of his films is to capitalise on his charisma, and he has oodles of it. If you are looking for a classic, this one's not for you. But if you can suspend disbelief and enjoy the proceedings, which entertain, you should try it. Akshay as Pakhsirajan is not bad too, and Amy Jackson is almost a parallel hero in this one- I liked her. The special effects are another hero, and some are awesome! Particularly cute are the microbots on a pigeon.
If we can watch Hollywood film effects and Marvel at them (intended), let's salute Shankar, whose films are no less.
