Great performances by Neetu Chandra and Jayam Ravi. However after "Paruthiveeran", this one falls flat from Ameer.

2 things that I didn't get is:

 - Why did Ameer take 2 years to complete this project and come up with something so incomplete.
 - Whats the mafia link here for the tagline of the movie - A Mafioso action love story.

1. Terrible script and horrendous songs.
2. Poor direction and camerawork.
3. The name has nothing to do with the movie
4. Bala's horrible hairdo.
5. A very irritating and not cute kid to spoil the movie even more.
6. Unwanted characters like Jagathi, Mythili.
7. Bland in every aspect
8. Above and beyond everything the biggest flaw in the movie - ASIF ALI

I really do not know how Prabhu and Nassar agreed to a movie like this. Terrible and highly unbearable.

A complete waste of money and time.

VKP tries his best but sometimes it just doesn't work. Beautiful was his best work and I don't think he is ever going to create something better than that.

Fahad Fazil's performance is the only element that keeps this movie going on. Apart fom it VKP has definitely failed in keeping the viewers enthralled.

Finally something worth watching over the weekend.

Extremely well played by both Vikram and Jiiva. Fast, entertaining and keeps you awake compared to the previous movies which I saw over the weekend.

Good humor, great action sequences.

I cant wait to see the Hindi version, which has one more extra David in it.

Finally a Vikram movie that was fun.

Another weak script. We've seen dozens of story lines with the same flow of the partner getting killed and the revenge saga continuing.

+1 to Arnie for "The Last Stand".
