When Hero Vijay is introduced with a fight sequence saving a local area girl followed by ‘Rama Rama’ song, a typical Vijay intro song, the Director makes it clear that he is going to present Vijay as a super hero and the film is targeted at Vijay diehard fans.
Vijay(Pugazh) acts as a Villu of police officer Manoj K.Jayan. As directed by him, Vijay catches an international dada after a lengthy fight sequence in sea. Then he goes to meet Nayanthara(Janavi) to gain her love which is later revealed as a part of his mission to meet her father Prakashraj, another international dada. In the meantime, there are duet songs, comedy track of Vadivelu and one more fight sequence. Vijay meets Prakashraj in Zurich. As per his advice, Vijay kills Prakashraj’s rival, another international dada in a fight sequence in aero plane, acting as his son. Vijay double-crosses Prakashraj also and couriers the important evidence, a blue ray disc, to Manoj K.Jayan. Nayanthara listens to Vijay’s conversation with her father Prakashraj and misunderstands him as a gunda. Here director Prabhu Deva realises that he has screen played only songs, comedy and fight sequences till now and forgotten to add sentiment. Inspired by Hindi film ‘Soldier’, he reveals a flashback through Geetha(to Nayanthara) which goes as follows: Vijay’s (Pugazh) father is Major Saravanan (Vijay), an honest army officer, was on the verge of capturing three army officials(Prakashraj and another two Dadas later chased by son Vijay) involved in trading of weapons and ammunitions to terrorists and narcotics, but was brutally murdered by them. The men framed him as a terrorist and stripped off the medals and commendations from his dead body just before his cremation. Villagers refused to cremate Saravanan's dead body in their neighbourhood considering he is disloyal to the Country. Manoj K.Jayan is father Vijay’s friend who is away on duty while all this happens. Rest of the film after flashback is about how son Vijay takes revenge and removes out the terrorist image from the name of his patriotic father.
Vijay, with no change in get-up, hair style or acting from his previous films, shoulders the entire film single handedly. I would say he has come up to the expectations of his fans and children with his dance, fight sequences and mannerisms. Nayanthara disrobes to flaunt her cleavage, navel, thighs; she shows everything except acting. Though the comedy track by Vadivelu does not accompany the story line, it is the only redeeming feature. Prakashraj, Ranjitha, Anantharaj, Geetha, Sriman and Manoj K. Jayan just deliver their dialogues and they don’t have chance to deliver expressions. Songs composed by Devi Sri Prasad are nice to hear in the theatre. Ravi Varman’s Cinematography though not exceptional serves the purpose. FEFSI Vijayan’s fight stunts are too lengthy.
Final Comment:
If you wish to again learn (a+b)2 = a2+b2+2ab, you are welcome to watch this formula film, son taking revenge over his father’s killers. Others just wait for DVD.
