    Actually quite liked this movie. Felt it touched upon some pretty important topics and issues. Also loved the music and climax and interval blocks are definitely some of the best. It gets a bit long at times but other than that good film!

    Karuppu

    It was so good!!! I especially enjoy the scene where they parodized Thalapathy Vijay's movie 'Leo'!!!! Oh ya, and also the return of Singam part was amazing as well!!! It was very promising fun and action-packed movie from Suriya himself!!! RJ Balaji absolutely nailed it!!!

    Movie was taken in dark setting, where in the movie theatre the lights were on the whole time during the movie. Poor visibility. Good action packed fantasy movoe.
