Even better if they Air the movie, Saves you time and effort downloading the Torrent. Very Sad. same story, people watched HD print staying home.

or maybe Ayn and AMR gives Rats A $ $ about piracy in europe and NA, which isn't surprising given chunk of revenue comes from India.

Having watched thrice,I can assert as an Actor Thala's most natural & almost flwaless work since Vaali/Kandukondein days.Every expression is nuanced.
First time had quite apprehensions though liked the film and subsequent watch made it more enjoyable.

..Anushka proposing dialogue in Cofee shop looked naive.Expected more gangster part due to Thyagaraja involvemet seems that too chopped..

Anushka's and Thalas convo in Flight was good....wished GVM would hav extended Anushka role Thala super dapper in S & P look and Anuskha will make a stunning pair...Yen Yennai Song Anushka sitting in Blue saree.. drool

Triasha part was simple and sweet..too good..but crowd not even once kept quiet when I watched thrice..orae comment..
Honesty felt Gautham could have made certain scenes way better....Eventhough it was underplayed..interval in golden raj house would have been done better..When interval appeared something was missing

KId was awesome didnt go overboard and kept emotions subtle...
Noticed this in many Hollywood Cop films...the Police Protagonist would have daughter,,so its kinda template in Holly cop films Satyadev-Esha bonding worked well..But felt second half should have made more gripping...
Repeated Phone convos and driving in final chase sequence looked jaded after a point.

Certainly not up to my expectation since Ajith_GVM combo expected more and it was refreshing to see Thala in such a Author backed strong role after long time.

Even in his own Gautham style without succumbing to Thala's image or Star power,Script had in itself certain "Moments" which GVM didnt translate on screen..one such was Thala going to Golden raj house just before inteval IMO.
Having said this,there are lot of superb tongue in cheek dialoges throughout....idhu Venugopal veeda illa @#$$%....avan Bag vechurukaan elam

Gona watch again this week....

After 2nd time watch still got some

Golden Raj after telling SathyaDev all the infos said he got the clue from a black sheep inside his police team. Gautham didn´t reveal him as he may think every police team has such a guy.

After victors phone call he got out of his car and cried. But somehow he shoud already have known that the incident happened just because of his job and some of his enemies. Why shouting in that scene that he feels responsible for that happened incident. Somehow I could not feel the surprise shock in that moment.

You see this trilogy is quite unique, and an attempt which should be recognised. It is the exploration of fictional characters created by GVM over one another, but still providing a unique storyline for each. The thread he leaves behind in one, he pulls it in the second and stretches it in the thrid. Failing to note this, 'general' audience complain that YA being in the lines of Khakka Khakka & Vettaiadu Villaiyadu. Ofcorase it is.

ACT1 of YA is Rise of Anbuchelvan. There are several threads pulled from Khakka Khakka to match Satyadev. I can tell you one : the appearence of GVM. Its their first official meet with a special force team. Now look back at Khakka Khakka and the appearence of GVM in it and the role of his team. A back story of who is Anbuchelvan is what we see as Satyadev, until he becomes DCP.

ACT2 of YA is Journey of Raghavan. After an extremely jaw opening carrier, Raghavan is trying hard to jump the hurdles of age. Throw in the murder of his wife. He is a widower. Sathyadev at 38+ looses Hemanika. Go back and recollect the scenes from VV in US of A, conversation with Jothika. So from there, Satyadev volunteerly leaves the police force to take care of his child until his friend knocks the door to pleed with him to find his kidnapped daughter.

ACT3 of YA is ensemble experience of Ambitious Anbuselvan + Rude Raghavan = Self-conscious Satyadev. This part entirely belongs to Satyadev and thats where and why Victor plays a major role, connecting the dots leads to the restaurant episode where probably Anbuselvan was 13. And the jeep was a straight give away.

So keeping all this in mind, a corrupted cop reference surfaces years apart twice. In both suituations Satyadev was not in a position to give it a thought but plays by his instincts as Raghavan. After that his life gets busy. Maybe, now, at 42+ Satyadev could recollect such incident, and being outside the department may dig out this corrupted cop to save the rest of the young teams in operation. Its a thread left loose by GVM, and he can pick it up anytime he wants. As Arulprash wished this corrupt cop maybe Vinayak Mahadev - Let the chase begin.

See you can pull as many threads you want, and the beauty is GVM assembled to look as a standalone material. Another one - to bring back Victor, this corrupt cop whom Satya chases seems to be the one who released Victor faking the 'jail knife wound' episode, plus he is the brain behind the whole crime that we see in YA. Now Satya has "chase one villian, get another one for free" suituation.

After victors phone call he got out of his car and cried. But somehow he shoud already have known that the incident happened just because of his job and some of his enemies. Why shouting in that scene that he feels responsible for that happened incident. Somehow I could not feel the surprise shock in that moment.

If you have read my post - Who is Victor ? Who is Satya ? Who are they ? - you could have made out a sort of mirror image between them. Victor knows Satya, and Satya knows Victor. When Hemanika is murdered, the first question Satya asks is where is Victor ?. Confirmed that Victor is not the cause, he reacts in urgence to the revenge call and pays Golden Raj a visit. There he realises something very important, but comes out untouched. This incident gives him two things - Satisfaction (for avenging Hemanika's murderers, as he assumes) + Fear. So he decides to roll with the life keeping the Kakki out. Years pass. Harmony restored. Victor arrives. Satya treats him as a criminal. But when Victor announces what Satya does not wish to hear, a junk of his memory comes flooding. Not only that he did not give a second thought on Victor connecting the murder, but if he had killed him (rather than advicing him) when he got that chance, Hemanika would have been with him now. Driven by guilt and sorrow - a mix that cracks anyone - takes Satya to his kness and the cry is nothing but a howl. The wolf is ready, time to hunt the dogs disguised and operating as lambs.

after victor's phone call he realised victor was responsible for trisha's murder. that's why he got out of the car and cried.

going to watch it again tonight....

Well, in a sense, strictly driven by the 3 principle characters, yes. It a bundle of one cop story with episodes - a unique one - where the 3 characters are one and the same, according to the vision of GVM. Thats how I would like to call it, something like the Dollars Trilogy.
