What starts off with a bad introduction ends with the most expected climax. The climax is simple ‘Good wins over evil’.
The story line is a shopworn. Commissioner Nasser and his department are on a mission to arrest the pharmaceutical tycoon John Chinnappa (Suman) for his illegal activities and for adulteration of drugs. Ramprasad (Devan), his closest friend turns approver. On his way to the court he is attacked by Chinnappa’s men but manages to escape. Nasser on this occasion holds a meeting with high officials in the department and decides to hand over the mission to his son Shiva (Ajith), a brave CB-CID officer. To accomplish the mission Shiva joins a college in Ooty where Ramprasad’s daughter Pooja (Priya) pursues her education. Shiva decides to arrest Ramprasad when he visits his daughter.
Shiva on joining college gets close with Priya and her gang. In the meanwhile he falls in love with Mallika (Nayanthara) who joins the college as a lecturer. On his way to accomplish the mission Shiva learns that he is an adopted son only to learn the story from his long lost mother (Suhasini) and brother (Navdheep). The rest of the story is the depiction of how Shiva accomplishes the mission.
The movie seems more like a drama with no transitions in the flow of the story. The movie could have made an impact at the box office, if the debut director Raju Sundaram had concentrated on the screenplay and flow of the story. Making things worse is the music by Yuvan Shakar Raja. They stand alone as an individual pillar failing to impress with the story line.
There is nothing much that the actors can do about the story. They could have tried to act though. The comedy is a damp squib. One can only laugh at their plight of having to end up in the movie. The two-liner dialogues need definite mention. Silence is painful indeed!
There are just two words that the central characters exchange even when they are arguing. This only makes you realize the impracticality in which the movie is made.
Now don’t loose heart. There are few aspects in the movie that are enthralling indeed:
The scenes are depicted in an easily comprehensive manner - The story follows a stern pattern (Perhaps the director thought at least that would help).
The villain is shown, followed by the hero and his mission. Next on the list is the love story of the heroin.
Again we have the villain, the hero and his mission and then the love story.
The hero, his mission and his love story.
The hero, his mission and his love story…..
The same pattern is followed until time the movie gets over. How enthralling?
The villain is characterized of being highly emotional. He guns down his own men and the weeps over their death. The best is yet to come. He justifies his behavior, “the audience have to accept me”….how sweet!
Of course there are lessons learnt. A technically sound movie alone will not guarantee success at the box office. A smart hero and well-dressed heroine will not help the storyline.
It is time that the industry directors learn that there needs to be a solid story line and screenplay to guarantee success. A movie need not necessarily have an ace star cast. There needs to be something niche about it irrespective of which class of audience it caters to.

Anusha,
Well-dressed heroine? I hope you are making this as a general statment and not specific to this film. :) ;)
