Truly electrifying and mind blowing performance by the super duper superstar Ranjnikanth. The actor showcases ineffable energy through the portrayal of his character. The cinematography, background score adds to the momentum of the movie and deserves due credit. The actors Vijay Sethupathy, Bobby Simha, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and our own Manikandan’s performance are beyond words. Fabulous fine tuning by dear friend Super Star editor Vivek Harshan.
