If Vijay Sethupathy is what makes me to watch the Kollywood films, then Joseph Vijay stands on the other side. No offense to his fans, I was watching his films opening day, opening show (not first show), but I got tired of his same old tricks in his every new film. Anyway, this film is not any good for the international audience, but it's a different scenario for people in domestic market. This is a very good masala film. A fine mix of action, comedy, romance, sentiments and of course musical beats.I think it had potential if it was made like a normal film to the international standards, but you can't expect something like that particularly in Vijay's film. The film story had a good intention like delivering a series of messages to the society, but the execution was completely fake with too much shouting and loud noise. Irrelevant to the reality and there's no politeness while revealing what it wanted to tell the viewers. Like fighting crime and criminals are good, but it was shown in a bad way, such as public disturbances, including damaging roadside stalls and vehicles who are mostly poor people. This is why littering is a very serious concern in India. Films like this should stop promoting that.I liked the part of the story that depicted the Delhi rape incident, but I totally got annoyed when it was overshadowed by heroism. The majority of the comedies were in Tamil slang and was targeted for those with the knowledge of its films. The English subtitle translation was not very good at all. Even the overall film plot was drafted with the same old formula which is an honest cop versus a corrupt politician and involving a revenge act with a flashback.Like always, I hated the music videos. The story takes place on one side and it was frequently interrupted by unsynchronised video albums. It was completely out of proportion. If you skip them, the film is actually 3 minutes short which is a good thing. The casting was good, particularly the film will be remembered for Nainika's big screen debut as a child artist, as well as Vijay's own daughter at the end. So many people are eager for a sequel where he can work with his own daughter.If you are an Indian, then it would be a good watch. If you are from the south, you might love it. But for the international viewers, I must warn that if you know the actor and the director very well, then you would know what to expect, other than than choose it carefully. Only in India this thing happens, that it is rated U which is equivalent to PG, but it is actually an NC17 for violence.6/10

Theri a title copied from a dialogue said by ajith Kumar in the movie velhalam story copied from the movie kshatriyan which is acted by vijaykanth I don't know when is Vijay is going to give a original movie(excluding his movies with arm) two heroines Amy Jackson and Samantha for namesake a predictable screenplay boring romance part in flashbacks gives us a head ache and coming to the point on Vijays acting which is zero percent I think Vijay should stop acting the only saving grace was the acting done by the child nainanika which was better than the hero itselfTheri-no Sparks only headache

Though we have lot of tamil movies narrates these kinds of stories, but still the worst things happens on a daily basis. Apart from Vijay fans, This is the movie where the younger's watching, will do few changes.I have seen some past movies of Vijay which was very commendable. Vijay has changes some trends like making movies for farmers, for our soldiers and now for the parents as wheel as our social responsibility. For years back we can vijay doing film like pokkiri, thirumalai, Gilli, though these movies were blockbusters, but not like movies i mentioned above. Vijay now wants to make movies like these, which seems to appreciated. Every Vijay Fans must be proud of the movie and for Ilayathalapathy Vijay.
