Aayirathil Oruvan Review - Did i Like It?



Been waiting 2 looong years to see this flick.
So was it worth all the wait?
YES IT IS!!!!!!
Karthi was choooooo cuute in it!!!! His entrance itself was unique! He is a natural man!Im sure he is going to earn more fans from this.
Reema was surprisingly good! She looked cool with the guns and fights. She looked gorgeous in those traditonal costumes.
Andrea was good too, would like to see more of her.
The CGI work is awesome for a tamil movie!!! A fantastic and remarkable attempt by the Selvaraghavan team. It was very obvious that they went through alot alot pain and hardwork to achieve this kind of work.
Partiban was the special surprise package. Although i dun really fancy him he was sooo apt for the role. It was quite unimaginable to think of another replacement.
The costumes of Partiban was soo detailed.
Now the Flaws:
The movie is looooong. Needs some urgent trimming. Would cut that MTV styled song. (can't remember the name) Trim the last part where the chozha team was tortured. The movie badly needs subtitles too!I can't believe that they did not think of that?!Not many people understands thus the mixed reviews!There were scenes whereby people did not get the jokes...there was even a guy behind me who was translating it to his friend!I had to listen to the dialogues carefully too. Even the storyline is complex to comprehend. Gosh!Its like i have to see it again to understand it. The CGI works was very obvious at times too:( well then again its really unfair ro expect a Hollywood standard.
The violence was high in this movie so its not for the faint hearted.
I would strogly recommend everyone (above 16) to watch this movie. Only then such attempts will be remade again. Hats off! Selva!
