PERFORMANCE:

This movie is a treat to watch for Rajini fans, Rajini ‘s style of action is impeccable in this movie. He dons different get ups like Mandavelli Mannaru, Kumaresa Gounder

Another Villan Raghuvaran is used for fights
Goundamani does not have a comedy track but used along with the story to help it move forward
Visu as Kumaresa gounder helps Rajini nice portrayal
SV Sekar, Viji, Vadivukuarasi etc complete the cast
TRIVA:

It is the fifth movie for AVM with Thalaivar
The movie celebrated 100 days
This fim is a Hindi remake Trishul starring Amitabh Bachan.
The song kathiranthu Kathava thorandhu was picturised well like items in refrigerator appearing large and lead pair dancing in it was well appreciated . It was done by Ravikanth Nickyasch . He is from Bombay and is a specialist in trick shots . His earlier works were in Mgr’s Oliviakku( Many MGRs were shown in single frame) Pathanathil Bhootam ( Nice trick shots all over the movie)
Sathyaraj who appeared in small role in AVm’s Payum puli was given a life time role like a second hero
SV Sekar & Sathyaraj commented that this movie is not a remake of Trishul but Ek shool as major importance were given to Thalaivar.
The village scenes were shot in former minister Manradiyar’s village. Production Manager & SPm were given a car and driver to see the locations of Manradiyar’s farm. After roaming for 2 days in car they asked “ How long will it take to see this farm?” The driver replied if we see the locations like this for a week we can almost cover the farm” .
The superb song Enama kannu was hot in Guindy Race course .
Actor Raguvaran was a budding actor those times and would come to sets by 6 O clock even though his hots would be from 9 O clock to learn the techniques of shooting

HIGHLIGHTS:

Ennama Kannu song, Auction scenes, racy logical screenplay.
FINAL VERDICT:

Go for it nice family , mass entertainer

HOME VIDEO:
